Pros
The discount can be nice. Can stack retirement savings, if the company continues as is.
Cons
The discount is nice for some things, but you're just helping the massive, consumer life-sucking machine continue forward. It's really smart on their end; they make their money back, discard inventory, it makes it hard for you to leave, and you spend more money keeping you poor, like a good luh consumer(because deadass even employees are consumers they say). The management structure is horrendous. For example, Why is the kids' clothing manager trying to tell me what to do in web. You're constantly micromanaged, talked about behind your back about what you do wrong, no felxibility, no work-life balance anywhere. you get paid dirt to work on weekends and nights to "get that ESOP". bad company to work for through and through. Not good for the human condition. everyone there is more fake than democracy is itself anymore. Work there and you'll either see ever soulless employee or become a lifer.
