Pros

Great relationship-based company with exceptional people and great brands. Flexible schedule, summer hours and onsite health services, fitness center, credit union, Caribou, D'Amico and company store. Invested in volunteerism and giving back to the community.

Cons

Heavily weighted toward recruiting from ivy league colleges, which makes it difficult to get promoted if you're not in the "in" crowd.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
