Pros

The company has many positive aspects, yet working there is great if you are a part of the rat pack.

Cons

When working as a Buyer, I knew I was new at the job, yet was surprised over the arrogance and rudeness of other Buyers. The company promotes bad behavior and back stabbing.

Pros

The people are mostly nice.

Cons

They just let go of 79 buyers to restructure the department. They are going for quantity over quality. I’m literally an appraisal robot. The micromanaging and constant feedback will destroy your confidence. There is no growth or future in purchasing as they are hiring hourly associates who can do it cheaper but not better.
