Pros

-Decent health benefits -Semi-competitive salaries starting out -Some jobs are hybrid/remote

Cons

-Doesn’t give raises to employees despite inflation but gives huge bonuses to executives -People quit because of no raises and then the company doesn’t hire to replace them, just pushes work onto other employees for no extra money until they burnout and leave as well -Not employee oriented at all. Put a bunch of money into building new brands while other established brands are hemorrhaging people
