Pros

Discount- if you like the clothes. If you are lucky some cool co-workers. Flexible scheduling to a certain degree.

Cons

Not much opportunity unless you are the "right" type of person, which is usually insincere, backstabbing, and overly concerned with how things appear vs. how they are. People who do actual work are overlooked for people who give good soundbites, which are usually culled from the people who are doing the actual work. workloads are unmanageable at every level and the disconnect between the decision-makers and those who deal with the implications of those decisions is vast.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
