Pros

Awesome job with great benefits and store activities to keep you informed and well aware.

Cons

Some of the managers aren't competent of the position they are in. Can get really rowdy and crowded. Not much motivation or inspiration to help you further your career within the company. You have to be all buddy buddy with upper management for you to advance within certain stores.

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.
