Pros

They have a great discount, very nice direct bosses, good name for resume. Seeing RALPH active in the company always makes me happy.

Cons

No promotions, no raises, too top heavy and too many creative opinions nothing gets done efficiently. They need to promote people Based on merit not when someone leaves.

Pros

- Brand Recognition - Good PTO - Great Employee Discount - Mostly friendly and laid back work Enviroment - Large Company with lots of divisions for possible new opportunities - Many development classes available - philanthropic

Cons

- Management tends to use direct reports for their own gain. Often taking credit for your work. - Difficult to transfer to other job functions - Promotions are typically based on who you know rather than your performance - Lower than average industry salary - Poor work/life balance - Bonuses only provided for Upper Management - Small raises - HR department does not do much for employees below director level. Many people work as temp/freelance for long periods of time promising full employment and then not delivering on that request, HR will always side with upper management. - Revolving door

Glass Ceiling

Pros

Clothing discount. Compensation package is above average.

Cons

Glass ceiling. Don't even think about getting a promotion if you are African-American. It is a very hard glass ceiling. There is almost no leadership that is African-American, and the company refuses to do anything about it, even though there are lots of qualified internal candidates. Not a good place to work.
