Pros

Has a good 401K match. Has a nice ESPP. The benefits are pretty good. The work is not that hard and since there is no incentive to outperform, there is no reason to stay late at night or work the weekends. The associates and non management workers tend to be intelligent and hard working, but they leave after 2-3 years.

Cons

The opposite of an entrepreneurial firm. Management is deathly afraid of making a wrong decision, so every baby step forward has to go through committees and analysis. The company is also keen on diversity in senior management. So if you are incompetent but check a diversity box, this could be the perfect place for you.
