Pros

*Good benefits (medical insurance, dental cover, eye care, gym membership...) *Aparently it “looks good on your CV”

Cons

*Benefits don’t put bread on the table. Does not make up for the low wages for non-salaried staff *Financially stunted wages and “rises” (sun inflation for several years in a row) *Glass ceiling - very little progression, specifically in retail stores *Advocates equal pay for equal work but staff in same roles will be on different rates of pay *Inherent sexism (low percentage of females in “advanced” roles) *Demands more than they are willing to give *Poor work/life balance as they will not implement set shifts patterns *Absolutely reeking of hypocrisy in their culture and values

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
