Pros

Great pay and benefits, laid back work environment, and interesting subject matter to work with. The company treats employees overall very well. Great one.

Cons

Sometimes, you'll find yourself working with rather difficult people with no way out (this is a rather hard company to get fired from). Also, the sexual harassment policy is not very strictly enforced at all. It happens.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and pay, as well as culture within the company. I can't recommend this employer more strongly. They really take care of their employees, and the employees care about each other. I have lifelong friends from working there, and the retention rate is high. I only wish they had a store in Nashville so I could still work there!

Cons

No store in Nashville yet!
