Pros

Great corporate culture, innovative product, great benefits

Cons

Company is trying to redefine itself in the age of on line shopping and is grossly behind in the technology. Not gaining market share in existing markets due to heavy competition and cutting staff and management to maintain already healthy profit margin. Many seasoned coworkers have been let go to lower cost, all of this under the company vision of "Creating a Better Every Day life........ " such a crock. Disconnected corporate office/Field office Management with unrealistic expectations. They all talk a good talk but dont drink their own KoolAid.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
