Pros

Discount was incredible, company was very well organized and training was really great when it came to knowing the company. I had great relationships with my managers, and actually enjoyed working holiday season with them! They made sure to include incentives for us to sell more with commission, or little door prizes. It's a brand that people trust, and we were able to trust it as well.

Cons

"On-Call" was very frustrating as a student employee, it was difficult to plan around that schedule.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
