Pros

There is a chance for advancement at this company. You have an opportunity to move both through department and up through the ranks. There are awesome benefits for those lucky enough to work there permanently. amazing benefits, they buy you lunch on peak days, everyone is pretty approachable. They have employee carnivals and picnics and give great Christmas gifts.

Cons

Some of the same challenges that exist in any retail environment are present here. I will also add that generally it starts as a part time position,. It can take a while to get on full time. But pt has full benefits.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
