Pros

Get to work from home Monday and Friday...Those days only. You're badge swipes will be tracked if not in the office Tues-Thurs

Cons

Where do I start. Management is AWFUL. You will be Micromanaged, Micromanaged. I’ve never worked at a company that micromanages this much. You will be monitored and watched for everything you do. The only way most managers got their role was because they have worked at the company more than 10 years. They have no leadership skills what so ever. The retail/PITech division is very toxic. Everything is centered around deadlines and metrics. They will invest literally billions of dollars in useless tools to generate metrics but refuse to invest in the actual people that work there. The retail division is a dog eat dog environment and you are just a number and everyone lies to each other. There’s also seniority favoritism/bias. Anyone working here more than 10+ years has been institutionalized and drank the "crew" kool-aid and expects to be treated with superiority (or think they should be treated that way) Some “people” that work here have incorporated their countries work culture of a caste system. This means women will be treated with less respect than the males in certain departments (look up caste bias). If you value your confidence and mental health, don’t work here.
