Pros
Its good to learn about e-commerce and also learn about the responsibilities of owning your own store. They also have an in-built customer base.
Cons
There contact times are bad and they are usually provide 'solutions' that dont solve the problem or are just copy and pasted out of a database. They have a big policy about copyright and trademarks yet there are several stores selling products based off of very famous characters that don't get banned.

Pros
Workplace teams look after the teams with food, treats and events.
Cons
Team members are long standing and very cliquey. Management is a mess and unsupportive. No structure or forward thinking. Overall performance is low and teams are inexperienced. No diversity. No real regard for staff. Work moves at a glacial pace. Goal posts get moved too often.
