Pros

I can't find pro's The only one is that I had a job and I got a paycheck.

Cons

The computer system is ancient. They refuse to invest resources in their stores, they are falling appart. Nobody gets a raise, the company has put a freeze on that for many years now. There are no internal promotions, they rather hire from the outside. Keep away from this company, there is no future, it won't last too long.

Pros

Nice, smart, hard-working people. Nice building and facility, great gym and cafeteria, not small matters. Nice suburbs around but also commutable from Chicago by public transportation.

Cons

Company's strategic plans are flimsy at best. Does not value its employees. Low morale. The downward spiral: Lots of cost-cutting, leading to worse stores, leading to worse sales, leading to more cost-cutting.

Pros

1. Great work life balance 2. Nice people 3. Very good learning opportunity 4. Competitive compensation as compared with other Captive units 5. Flexible timing 6. Information transparency.

Cons

1. No 360 degree feedback system, hence the monopoly of managers are quite obvious. For most of the managers buttering is the only option to make them happy and satisfied. 2. Portals are very new and need more maturity 3. Very little hike in promotions 4. Too many managers. In reality, managers are only doing spreadsheet and status update work. Leads and team members are doing the actual work.
