Pros
AB is truly a company built from it's people: passionate, independent, and entrepreneurial employees. It isn't a surprise that these kinds of people flock to a company that allows you to own every aspect of your success and growth. It doesn't matter what/where you studied, if you have the drive and skills to learn quickly, you'll progress through this company. For a brand this large, it's incredible how lean they are and how much time they dedicate to hand selecting new employees and trainee program classes.
Cons
If you are not mobile, this company can seem fast paced for the wrong reasons. AB wants you to experience many different sides/departments/locations, and that often comes with moving. Additionally, the Type A persona that drives this company can sometimes come off as insensitive/high-strung for individuals who don't have thick skin. Be ready to roll with the punches, and meet some big personalities along the way.
