Pros

Amazing people and benefits. A company that wants each individual to show up and bring their whole self to work.

Cons

They will restructure every few years and people will lose their job or force to be demoted without much notice.

- Management is not the best, they put too high expectations that are not even achievable. - You have to learn by yourself or hope another employee in your department will teach you.

Pros

Hours can be flexible, fun environment, easy job, They don’t want to fire you so you get away with a lot, no one really holds you accountable for arriving late/other issues

Cons

Pay, you’d work hard dealing with tons of customers while you make pennies and bosses makes disproportionately high wages for less than a fraction of work, management is lazy and pretty uninformed or even uninterested about their job and your job for the most part, communication all around is lacking, everyone shares info within their own friend groups
