Pros

Decent pay, great benefits, nice discount, casual.

Cons

Management will spread rumors about your "personal" life without your knowledge, upper management will talk to you like you're a child, they hire management that is incompetent. Those who come from other stores to help with openings will spread rumors that management got fired for sexual harassment...the same manager who spread the rumors about his employee. No time for self/school/family.

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.
