Pros

Overall the company is a leader in the retail industry and does many things very well. The store level leadership is strong and talented as are the senior leaders within the organization.

Cons

There is almost no work/life balance. While this normally would not be an issue for me the company tends to go out of the way to talk about work/life balance and then do nothing to back up the words. They are relatively generous with the amount of paid time off the allot their associates but it then give them a hard time when you try and take it. The issue lies within the middle managers, not the senior leadership. They need to either improve this culture or just stop talking about the work/life balance issue all together.

Pros

If you are smart and willing to do whatever it takes, you will get promoted. If you find the right mentor, your development will be a priority. If you love retail, this is the place for you.

Cons

Hope you get lucky with your manager and director and VP because if you end up in the wrong department on the wrong category, the environment is toxic.
