Pros

Casual clothing. Great health insurance and paid time off.

Cons

Literally everything else. When you make complaints about sexism in your department, it goes nowhere. Salaries are way below industry standard, and when you present your case, it does nothing. No raises, BARELY cost of living increase. Yeah they make some top places to work lists, but they keep getting lower and lower on the list. If you don't drink the Kool-Aid then you'll never fit in. Management never has your back. Constant talking in circles and never getting anything done.

Store representative

Pros

Good benefits and diversity initiative at the time.

Cons

The company lied about what the job was. A "community building local representative" for their brick and mortar stores ended up just being a cold calling job and taking incoming calls for other stores. No room to move up. The management was the worst I ever worked for. Weird rules where they signed the lease, including someone having to stay in the store in inclement dangerous weather. Most of the "old school" employees I came into contact with drank the Kool Aid in a weird way that left no room for criticism. I left in 2022 and have been watching the rating here fall for all the years since. Could have been a great company but I wouldn't ever give them my energy now, as an employee or customer.
