Pros

When there are good managers, like any in retail store, it can be a lot easier to do your job. They always helped me with my schedule, and we had a good relationship.

Cons

We were frequently understaffed, and the employees are barely sub-par. I'm not sure if the interview process is the issue or they are just hiring bad people, but there have been some very terrible employees in that store. They hire them back too after they get fired. I understand being understaffed and wanting people, but if they hired quality candidates in the first place we'd have less of an issue.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
