Pros

Discounts are good, the group of people you work with are fun, and the customers (for the most part) are a blast.

Cons

In the retail store, it's very hard to get anywhere. If you want a steady job doing the same thing over and over, clicky group with management, and frustration in trying to work your way up the chain, it's great. Retail store is not built for "careers" unless in my opinion.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
