Pros

Good company culture, very inclusive

Cons

Lowest pay versus competitors. No recognition unless you are a 'favourite'. Strong emphasis on short term opportunities which increases stress levels throughout the business. Long hours and poor work/life balance, you are expected to put in the extra hours with little to no acknowledgement. A lot of people become comfortable and do an 'ok' job, they are kept on purely so as not to offend.

Pros

Compensation and benefits Many great brands with very good consumer demand Very smart and hard working people

Cons

Work life balance horrendous No matter when vacation/holiday time is scheduled, expectation is you will work. Especially month end or year end. Sales executives are very short term focused, too much time spent discussing daily and monthly sales numbers No training on brand heritage or history and very little sales training 8 downsize reorgs in 10 years HR is not advocate for employee and you rarely speak to or hear from them Decision making is slow and tedious, not competitive
