Lots of responsibility early in your career
Pros
It is surprising how much responsibility people are given here even though they are often fairly new in their careers. I've seen a kid less than 5 years out of school managing the flagship brand. I see brand new analysts fresh from college that are meeting with VPs and working on things like pricing and product development. And even for the folks that end up elsewhere after a few years, I've noticed that their experience here is so significant to the organization that it really sets them up well for the next step. This is a place where if you do well, it won't be long until you are working on things that are "announced on stage." It would be hard to "hideout" here. If you are good, the exec office will call you to have you work on a project. That's an exhilarating thing.
Cons
If you like work flexibility because you are a little bit lazy, this probably won't be a good fit. For example, people work the entire day on Friday. That was a bit of a shock to me, I'm used to a fast past pace and urgency, but I was accustomed to Fridays, at the office at least, ending at 2pm. Idaho Falls isn't for everyone. I like it, but I get why people wouldn't. Housing prices have risen rapidly recently, which has been great for me, but for a newcomer, it wouldn't be. It feels like it is on the edge of really exploding, but it's not quite there. It's right in the center of some of the greatest outdoor destinations in the country. So I love it. But if your thing is shopping malls, you'd probably not like it.
