Pros

Well-known brand, good pay and benefits

Cons

The most stressful job in retail. TONS of pressure from senior mgmt without listening to feeback from the field (even though they say they do) - leads to highly ineffective practices at store level. The level of secrecy with new products/launches is simply awful. If you trust someone enough to run a store, you should trust them with secure information.

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
