Pros

1.) The overall culture is great outside of IT. There are coworkers who don't come into work until 10AM and just stay later. This is allowed in most departments 2.) The entire giveback culture is great 3.) There are people within IT who truly care about the company and individuals.

Cons

1.) IT leadership is lacking on most levels, especially levels above middle managers. This leadership has pushed away entire teams, the main reason I left the company 2.) Pay is low for IT, this is ultimately reason two I ended up leaving 3.) They push great places to work, but when IT answered honestly, the CEO pulled us together for hours of meetings on why our answers were wrong. This has happened to multiple departments and makes employees not want to answer honestly. 4.) The company has been through 4 CIO's during my employment 5.) IT is overworked and there are people on the team who are expected to answer their phones 24/7, even on holidays and weekends 6.) The culture that IT leadership is building, doesn't match the culture of the company. IT is required to be in the office 9 - 6. IT is expected to be overworked. IT isn't shown the appreciation of other teams There are issue within IT that causes crazy , lack of appreciation, and most of this stems from leadership on director level and above

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
