Pros

-- The atmosphere is pleasant to be in, it is not a typical fast food style establishment. -- Every employee gets a Development Journal. Containing; - Checklist's for each stage of the employee's progression. - Weekly entry section to be filled out during 1 on 1 talks with their Manager. - Note's section for writing down technical instructions (computer tasks, inventory tips, ect.) -- Paid breaks, every lunch break includes free meal. -- Quick promotions*

Cons

** Horrible turnover rate - 80%+ of employee's are employed less than 6 months. ** - Poor training. Assume that you will be training yourself on specific details. - After first few weeks, expect inconsistant hours. - Very positive interactions between new hires and managment for first week or so. It is just a front. - Tolerates immaturity, gossip, and disparagement.

Pros

Lots of flexibility and good company benefits. Cool office space and good people. The company wants you to learn more and give you the opportunity to do so.

Cons

In the corporate space, very limited career growth opportunities. Current manager micromanages but not terribly. Company performance stinks and leadership does not want to take accountability.
