Pros

Decent benefits; childcare pretax account that is supplemented by corporate.

Cons

Lack of vision from corporate in Arizona. This leads to short term decision making, and lack of accountability for outcomes.

Pros

Coworkers were great for the most part. Pay is fair. Benefits are exceptional.

Cons

Too many people are given "management" type roles. All decisions required numerous approvals which end up costing the company money in the end due to loss of sales. Way too many meetings. We would have meetings about the meetings that we were going to have!

Eroding Experience

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Well known brand. Opportunity for new hires to gain experience quickly. Great coworkers.

Cons

Dysfunctional work environment. Global senior leaders manage to stock price, forcing initiatives into each business and region that are disconnected from local strategic conditions, and then force restructures every 6 months when numbers erode. Struggle to innovate, except through acquisition. Very little personal growth potential. A very high degree of nepotism and elitism in senior management.
