Pros

Great training programs, room for growth, innovative thinking, work/home life balance, good benefits. They empower employees at all levels to make key decisions.

Cons

They have started to become a more Americanized company, at least here in the United States. The thing that made them great was that they were different from all the other reatil stores. As I was leaving the company, and now as a consumer there, I see them becoming like all the other retail stores.

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.
