Pros
Amazing culture Opportunities abound if you know the retail store Great performing ESOP Most leadership cares about you and your family The review process is actually rewarding and yearly
Cons
It's not even a con - it's a outdoor enthusiasts dream. if you're not passionate about it, the theme can get tiring, and there's a lot of policy (but MOST for good reason). Those who choose to leave often are going for a more fluid environment / more hip. This is a 115 year old company that has a culture that won't be going anywhere - so while it's easy to say adapt to change - there are somethings that can't, and won't change that will turn away individuals. Me? I'm tired of wearing a tie and shaving every day because the policy says so, I would probably do it every day but not having that option makes it a HR logistical nightmare.
