Pros

Good Discount on crap merchandise. Health Insurance is adequate. Reduced hours was a nice gesture.

Cons

Completely unrealistic workload and levels of miscommunication from the office is embarrassing. Freight levels make no sense and create unsafe stores, yet we a great game about safety and work life balance. Spend less time building cafe's in the office and more time hiring people who know how to run the business. Your focus up there is so off base and only concerned with being able to use buzzwords to make you look like something your are not and will never be. RD1 spends her time shopping she even commented on it while responding to a LinkedIn post, talk about an embarrassment.
