Pros

This is a very casual work environment. You can have a beer during the day, usually supplied by the management team. Unlimited vacation days seem like a great idea , if you are one that actually takes advantage of it and many do.

Cons

Senior Management for Goods does not consist of merchants causing for constant changes in strategy. Not a sustainable business model. There is not a structure in place to support buying team so many tasks end up on the buyer's plate even though it shouldn't.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
