Pros

Company gave alot of merch, bonuses & gifts to management, during peak there was a managers closet full of snacks to keep us energized for long shifts, encouraged building morale in employees. Great for people who like high pressure/stress/demanding work environments.

Cons

Management was unhelpful and condescending, departments switch every 6 months including schedules, promotions based on how much management liked you over actual stats and accomplishments. A senior leader once asked me “are you dumb or just blind” on the floor in front of my employees, HR and upper management did not assist in that situation. Never ending messaging from management, support staff, etc including your days off (the shift are 10-12 hrs each, 3-4 days/week) There is only on the floor training when they switch you to another role (department) and a very small window of errors. Not the best environment if you’re sensitive, slow paced, or seeking a non stressful work environment. This job is very stressful

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
