Pros

-I don't use the health benefits, but I hear they are good. -$3 meals for staff.

Cons

-Pay for most part timers isn't very good. -Customers don't read the signs, and are usually scared/angry and confused. -The technology is extremely outdated. We're using cash registers from like the 1980's. -Some of the management is very gossipy. -The company is very sugarcoated, but treats you like any other retailer. -It's almost impossible to get promoted.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
