Pros

Good benefits Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees working 24+ hours

Cons

New company restructuring has thrown everyone into different roles and teams without any training, and morale is an all-time low. Product inventory is constantly an issue, so it's difficult to do your job. Scheduling is a joke––you can work 5-6 days in a row and the shifts will be less than 8 hours each. New hires are getting paid more than veteran coworkers (and guess who's training them).

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
