Pros

Huge company so less likely to get laid off in recession. CEO seems great but not sure he sees what’s really going on at corporate.

Cons

No flexibility in work schedule . They are going to 3-4 days a week in office. Even though there was success in hybrid for 3 years they do not care and want everyone back in office to sit in gray cubicles. Not many leaders, way more upper level that do not know how to lead people. Downstream of work to lower levels so Directors do zero work has been my experience. Benefits are absolute trash. Insurance package is the worst I’ve seen experienced, deductible for family is extremely high along with a high monthly cost. Calm is a mental health program they offer with a very short list of available therapist and basically zero child therapy options. Vacation days are basic- no creativity here, get like 15 days max. Last but not least onboarding is horrendous. No training, no level of awareness of how bad their onboarding is and this is an easy fix and they don’t see it. Oh and many high up VP to P level constantly drop pro GOP buzz words and headlines straight from Fox News- on conference calls with tons of people on them.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
