Pros

There are many ways you can move up in the company. You don't have feel stuck in a certain area. There are also many ways to learn more about your current or a future position and this additional education is greatly encouraged. The pay is above average for retail and as long as your performance doesn't drop, you can look forward to a raise every year. Benefits are among the best offered.

Cons

Even though you take all the training classes, sometimes your movement forward hinges on who you know. Another frustrating thing is that if you're not the kind of person to find information on your own, you will be kept in the dark.

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.
