Pros

Good opportunities for young professionals that like occasional change in domain and/or role. Strong emphasis on talent development, all leaders are measured by it so its not just lip service.

Cons

Consensus driven culture cause decisions to take to long. Too much socialization and sharing of what you are doing with peers that does not really add value. Process prevails too often over common sense and the benefit of getting things done and cutting through the red tape.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
