Pros

The job is relatively easy and pays well. It also allows more work life balance than traditional retail. Benefits are great. If you can keep yourself from caring this is a great job.

Cons

Maybe it was the market I was a part of but there was so much drama and politics. Everyone seemed to be looking for a fight at all times. Managers would openly snap at team members in front of customers, bullying was accepted and everyone from HR to leads (supervisors) played extreme favorites. People who voiced concerns were reprimanded and/or fired- this is something I saw a trend in across my market and in neighboring markets. The greatest priority in this company is keeping stores from unionizing.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
