Pros

Great Benefits. Better than most companies. Pay is good for your role in the management realm. Sales Associates also receive better pay than other retail companies.

Cons

No Work/life balance Little to no promotional opportunities unless you're favored by management or your mother works there. (The staff notices) Promotions are based on passing an exam and then an interview of the US CEO. If they don't like your interview, you don't get promoted. Specialty team managers don't get pay increases unless your title changes which can take several years. They force you to take your PTO, but deny it when you submit it, claiming "business needs."
