Pros

great pay; amazing benefits; company culture is strong. Although it is a worldwide company, you feel like a family; vacation/sick time off is great- having been with the company many years I get 5 weeks of PTO and a week a sick time; The building itself is a major benefit- lockers & showers, computer rooms, quiet/prayer room, coworker-only restaurant that serves a different meal each day for only $3, some locations have gyms and free bicycles to rent, lactation rooms for new moms, etc...; If you have the drive and ambition to do so, you can work your way up quickly as this company mostly hires from within and values experience and qualities over a degree.

Cons

Its retail, therefore sometimes it really sucks. It is very fast-paced and there is a lot of pressure to work at maximum productivity seemingly all the time. With the current structure, there is too much responsibility and tasks put on each department and when one person doesnt do their given task it becomes a domino effect easily making it difficult to hold people accountable when multiple people cannot do their job to the fullest because the preceding coworker could not do their job to the fullest and so on.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
