Pros

At first, lots of innovation. Good career paths. Smart folks and interesting projects

Cons

CFO from airline came onboard and started slashing benefits left and right. The company focuses on giving a lot of stocks but they forgot they can’t control the stock market (even when the company does very well). This year, the attrition has been through the roof, to the point I am worried about how much this may affect our future earnings and our merchants.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
