Pros

The benefits and PTO are very competitive.

Cons

The culture here is some of the most bizarre and most toxic places I have EVER worked. Communication is horrendous, leadership at the top is often incompetent. The turnover rate, even for retail, is some of the highest I have ever experienced anywhere. They also do NOT develop their coworkers, instead they don't provide opportunities and then gaslight the coworkers by telling them "your development is up to you," but do nothing to be helpful in fostering that development. They are notorious for hiring externally, as well, and hire people who are far from qualified.
