Pros

I worked as a software engineer in ecommerce. Fast paced, forward thinking almost visionary plans. Someone is always thinking of a new way to use technology to sell product or making selling product easier. You will work with some very smart people. Very open to new ideas. New problems to solve, and a whole BUNCH of old ones ;) A bonus payout. Overall, I think the company has good ethics and corporate governance. It communicates well, and certainly markets itself well to employees. Most people at this company, are genuinely nice.

Cons

Compensation is, as HR will tell you, "middle of the road". It really isn't even that. Look at what other Ann Arbor companies are paying for experienced software developer talent. Old-style IT management is very much alive and well at Dominos. It is political, lots of moats and empire building. For a multi-billion dollar company, this outfit has dated practices and unreliable infrastructure. Strictly enforced dress code, but poorly enforced best coding practices and testing. The IT department mantra is unwavering honesty, but often times it is best to keep your mouth shut. . Contractors, contractors and more contractors. My first manager was a contractor, so was my second. Company is tucked away in the northeast corner of Ann Arbor. No restaurants, no real Ann Arbor culture, just an eclectic office park with bad (but free) parking and traffic. Quarterly IT meetings. Just try to get through these joys without playing on your phone, I dare you!

Pros

Can be a fun environment. Can provide opportunities to make decent wage, highly dependand on the franchise you work for.

Cons

Some positions pay very low for the work they put in. This makes it harder to retain good employees to keep operations at optimal levels. Who wants to do 3 times the work as drivers for significantly less money?
