Pros

Mostly good products and 25% employee discounts.

Cons

Corporate culture is toxic. You will be condescended to, treated as though you were stupide, hectored to produce credit cards, extended warranties, and other "services", all to enhance the bonuses of salaried managers and corporate bureaucrats with zero upside for you. Promotion is very slow. Political correctness is absolute.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
