Pros

Coworkers and team leads are pretty cool for the most part. PTO and sick time is the best.

Cons

Work 6+ departments and get the lowest pay in the store. Incoming employees with the least amount of experience are paid more than deserving workers who have worked there the longest. US stores are going through budget cuts so hours and pay aren’t consistent and reliable. They really like to overwork and underpay you.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
