      Pros

      Good Pay and 401K benefits with generous bonus payouts

      Cons

      Constant leadership uncertainty. Leadership is spiraling and don’t know what they are doing anymore. They are hiring incompetent leaders who can’t even manage a Target let alone work in a Fortune 500 company. It used to be a great company to work for but now they are constantly closing corporate offices and laying off staff and yet still boosting about record profits.
