Good salary and compensation. Recognized leader in the industry. Good learning and professional development opportunities.

It's a good old boys network dominated by folks who spent their careers in the stores. Lots of good non-retail senior management have left or are leaving. Not enough diversity. Not enough women in sr. leadership positions.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
