Pros

Initial salary is competitive, as is the stock options and AIP. These targets are competitive in spirit only. Nice modern office. Great location to look for other jobs if needed. I have to be fair, the benefit are great and the salary is probably excellent for any non-manager. Also, there are great inspiring senior leaders, but too few. Most are very short term and its evident when you look at VP turnover vs President/Executive.

Cons

Frequent turnover of the management staff leads to a culture of chaos and uncertainty. A new manager comes in torpedoes you in your performance review each year because they don't know everything you've worked on. The starting salaries are competitive, however reaching the next echelon is extremely difficult because you always taking the blame from the previous management regime. It is a frequent culture of blaming the last person and not taking accountability. I have worked here for over 5 years and i have never seen such a poor work life balance. I am trying to be fair, was i have met almost everyone in the main offices. Very few, with the exception of receptionist and customer service, the work hours are expected 12 hour minimum. I have not been able to take a holiday in almost 3 years, including xmas and thanksgiving. My work week is 7 days and my health has suffered.

Pros

Location is the only positive part

Cons

Interviewed with 4 people for a senior buyer position and was offered the job. Prior to accepting I emphasized numerous times that I have children and need to work specific hours. They agreed to my hours, Brittany the lead buyer: “yes, those hours are totally fine, Patrick her boss, “he has a daughter so we’re totally flexible when it comes to family and personal life” Mind you I’m going in as a contractor vs perm. So my hours should be flexible to begin with. Days before my orientation they give me recruiters a hard time for my hours that they approved and contractually signed on for.
