Pros

Office building is nice, many amenities that make it so you don't have to leave, most employees are friendly

Cons

Pay; they don't pay competitively in this market, but sell you on the concept of flexible work time (ROWE), however they have since eliminated that policy so you work the same schedule as other places with less pay. Many layers of management are incompetent, managers pass the buck on accountability and push all the blame to those working below them. Managers won't have your back and will be looking out for only themselves. Some layers of management seem to be sexist and more likely to listen to and give opportunities to men. Be leery of many analyst jobs, often this company's concept of an "analyst" is a person that can churn out reports all day long instead of providing insights and adding value. With the elimination of ROWE and many layoffs and re-orgs, morale is very low. I have never worked at a place where so many people want to quit.

Pros

Travel to different store locations. On travel that requires a hotel meals are covered up to $80 a day. Mileage is reimbursed outside of 20miles from home and back.

Cons

You're required to have a car and it puts alot of strain on it and your body. You could be gone from home anywhere from a few days to a few months. Changes are very last minute.
