Pros

Great Company, provides significant opportunities to learn and grow. Changes line managers frequently (you will have a new boss every few years, this a good thing), merit is based on what you do and how you do it. Freedom to develop and implement systems in a team environment. Challenging and rewarding work. You create a career development plan based on your requirements, management does well to facilitate opportunities to achieve your goals and the company goals. Expect open and honest feedback, both good and bad, listening well and being customer centric is essential. Flexible working hours and working remotely helps to manage work-life balance.

Cons

Very large, complex, and dynamic structure under constant people and systems change. You have to quickly (and often) evaluate and understand what’s expected of you in your role and able to communicate well with many different teammates and management, Ambiguity and standing alone are common; you are expected to learn, propose, and deliver structured training in new areas to support yourself and your teams. If you don’t adapt well and constantly realign your career goals with your manager and team, you will probably struggle. Workload is often unequally distributed throughout a team; some associates struggle, while others coast...both for long periods of time without correction.

Pros

Love the job. Such a fun, uplifting, positive environment. Perks are great, benefits are top notch, and the support from upper management is unbelievable. It really makes a difference working for a family run, principle based company.

Cons

Still working with ineffective retail partners and their software. That holds us back significantly. Those individuals also hold key positions within the organization which also hinders success.

Pros

Competitive starting pay, with a lot of broken promises for career opportunities

Cons

All management roles are temporary. If there’s no where to move to you get bumped down with pay cuts. Very limited opportunities to grow
