Pros

Benefits are good for retail

Cons

Do not recommend. They have been systematically removing anyone with experience and higher salary so current management is inexperienced. Store senior management treat people as disposable but expect deep loyalty. CEO is verbally abusive and company culture is toxic. Stores can’t get any stock to sell so sales goals can’t be met and management try to pass the blame to anyone they can.

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.
