Pros

Busy, challenging environment that never stops evolving. There's always a clear direction for the company and the brands are great. I love seeing team leaders and managers in Operations developing their careers, taking on more responsibilty for their businesses over time. Performance + acheivement is based on your own results.

Cons

Its a fast paced company and expectations are high. Our Ops teams can work in very busy stores and sometimes at antisocial hours.
