Pros

It's a job and I actually like their products

Cons

big workload, small contracts (20hrs), expected to be completely flexible, expected to be there on time but never get out in time (very difficult to plan anything), no staff discount, hardly any praise, bad communication between management and store assistants, not being treated as a valued member (remember without the store workers they wouldn't make any money at all)

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
