Pros

GREAT benefits. Good work life balance.

Cons

If you're a designer this role is not very satifying. If you like decorating is great. I felt my skills were not being utilized and i ultimatily left because I felt I was more dynamic and got a much better suited job elsewhere. Pay is only ok.

Pros

The people I worked with on the floor were great. My direct managers were invested in my education and development in the company.

Cons

After the company began reorganizing the culture really began to degrade. Many of the people who were promoted were wildly unqualified and ill suited to their new roles. Many of the people who were demoted were the long-time coworkers that had the institutional knowledge that made the place run.

Pros

Some of the people there are absolutely amazing. The benefits are good but expensive (35 to 40% taken out of each check). The merchandise and food discounts are good. If you work in the right department, they will look out for you.

Cons

I did not have a good experience being trained. The lady who was supposed to train me let me know she didn't like to train. She even e-mailed management to ask to not train me.
