Pros

Makes a great subject for a thesis on corporate culture in the middle of disruption. Lunch is good.

Cons

Management style and structure from the 20th century; fear + command&control.

Pros

Big company. Gives change to find other jobs.

Cons

Old school bosses means old fashioned leading. They give you nice picture but when you go on the field you see nothing what they had talked about.

Pros

Forerunner in digitalization, good modern tools & programs, does well in sustainability rankings, data-based decision making, nice stores, own brands & products, many career opportunities and great co-workers.

Cons

Problems in culture, very old fashioned. Clear hierarchy and stiffness in decision making. Men are more respected and have on average a noticeably higher salary than women in this company, according to yearly internal comparisons. The individuals possibility to affect decisions or to be heard is very limited. Rarely any celebrations, rewards or appreciation. You just need to work hard and not complain. Just not enough respect to people.
