The perfect place to work if you like feeling afraid and demoralized
Pros
The retail discounts are one of the only things that makes working here worthwhile. The company is also full of many wonderful people.
Cons
No discernible long-term planning or strategy and no transparency. This company is obsessed with "reinventing" itself every few months, meaning entire divisions will be eliminated without warning, and your boss, or even your role can change from one week to the next. Turnover is constant. Whether you've worked with the company for 6 months or 20 years, you can lose your job warning or explanation, because operational decisions are seemingly made on a reactive whim. The executives' lack of communication perpetuates this sense of instability. There is a culture of unease and uncertainty here, as if the C-suite are perpetually gaslighting their own employees. Even if you manage to get meaningful information from senior management, it's rarely reliable and will often turn out to be outrightly false — up to and including your own job security. The job you're hired for may very well not end up being the job you do, because they either don't understand your role or don't see the value in it, and they're not interested in receiving input or actual data if it goes against "the way it's always been done." Working in my field for over a decade, this is without question one of the most poorly managed organizations I've ever been a part of.
