Pros

It was a good job for a short term basis. Keeps you on your feet and busy. Not too much brain work required to have this job.

Cons

They expect more out of you than you can finish in an 8 hour day. No overtime; you will get written up! No 401k matching, you pay for your own health & dental. Lowest wages in the industry. They rarely if ever give you the full $.60 a year raise. Basically, you are looked at as replaceable, and they will fill your spot with someone else.

Pros

Nice people, Flexible work hrs, stable pay

Cons

There is no clear career road map or vision for the employees due to planned migration to the new ecommerce platform which services/labs teams are building. Upper/Middle Management is too busy saving their position, Lower/middle management still working in decades old mindset while rest of the employees suffer from very low motivation due to lack of recognition and direction. Absolutely no career growth unless you are connected to the right folks. Teams still operate in ancient/outdated delivery models even though there are efforts to become agile due to which there are frequent missed project deadlines, overwork & poor output. There is way too much politics between the teams in Bentonville, California & India due to which the output always suffers. There is very little transparency w.r.t project/roadmap planning and teams get to know the information only when it is too late and of no value.
