Pros

Basic health and dental benefits Wide range of opportunities across the country - usually requires relocation Some newer services for employees, such as Gym (employee paid) Employee Discount

Cons

Lack of accountability, leadership and innovation is prevalent throughout the company. Old boys network - promoting from within from stores leadership into unrelated senior leadership roles. In spite of a massive dominant market position, fails to drive and capture new markets and opportunities. Example: Deploying 300 DVD self-serve kiosks across the country at a time when the entire industry has transformed to digital content? Installing high priced Express product kiosks in Dollar stores?

Pros

You get to meet with amazing coworkers.

Cons

Management is very bad, and they don't care about any of the employees; all they care about is hitting numbers and only numbers. Pay is low too for technology advisors.
