Pros

Can't speak to how it is today, but when I worked here I learned a lot. There are great employee discounts. Thanks to Delaware being a tax free state, the commission rate at this store has historically been relatively high, but I'm not sure if that has changed.

Cons

Sometimes we stayed late because there were not a lot of operations employees.

Pros

- Plenty of capable individual contributors doing real work. - The brand and the business itself are legitimate — the problems are organizational.

Cons

- Senior leadership is politically driven rather than outcome-driven. Strategic initiatives stall out, and leaders spend more energy assigning or shifting blame than actually diagnosing and fixing problems. - Some parts of the org operate on deference to the top. Honest assessments get softened into whatever narrative leadership wants to hear, which makes real cross-functional work difficult. - Senior leaders do not consistently advocate for their own teams. When things get political, self-preservation takes precedence over backing the people underneath, and capable managers end up exposed.
