Pros

Fun and recognizable brand, high-performing culture, opportunity to run a business as a buyer, lengthy training program that combines classroom and on-the-job experience

Cons

For MBAs coming in, there's still a fair amount of culture clash between those who have grown up in the organization and those who come in from the outside; the "Fast Fun Friendly" culture mantra can feel excessively forced; the amount of time it takes to get placed into a full-time role after buyer training can be lengthy
