Pros

seems stable, secure. seems like a big company

Cons

not stable at all. They laid many people go the past two years. When they let people go, they would first call that person to a meeting, and HR would come collect that person's belongings. And we would never see that person ever again. We are talking about laid off, not firing a person. This way is very cruel. Fear generate within the company for a long period of time. They kept on doing some HR publicity to make things seems more family like, yet, the way they treat staffs are no family. It's truly a company that "say one thing but do another". The system/standard within the company is a mess. They make people taking online courses for management, yet, the upper managements are the ones who fail to know all those being taught. It's so meaningless. That 10% discount, it's quite awful. My friends worked in other closing stores, the least employee discount they get is 30% off. 10% is only good to cover the tax. It's a company with awfully high turnover rate. Yet, they don't try to find out how to make it better for staffs, I am sure they think they are doing just fine.
