Pros

Unfortunately, not many to list. There are some resources HR provides for training but they're not comprehensive.

Cons

No room for growth or movement, hiring freeze that HR team is neglecting to let employees know, no transparency whatsoever, CEO and leadership solely concerned about shareholders, shady business practices, leadership team underneath Executives are so frustrated and brunt out which trickles down to management employees, severely understaffed in home office, increase in layouts in past months (Jan-Apr) and no one is getting hired into newer roles, no room for development, no assistance to pursue higher education, older legacy systems that need more updates, because everyone is so overworked and stressed out, there is no sense of culture/teamwork/work family, incredibly behind retail trends, no clear vision in where the company needs to go, working on too many things with not enough resources to accomplish
