Pros

Easy work, usually you don't go home too tired.

Cons

Scheduling has no idea how to do their job so the hours can be anywhere from 4 months of 6 and 7 day work weeks too maybe only working 3 days of the week. The higherups do not care about the temps in anyway. Some have been a "temp" for years and there is no chance of them getting hired on. The HR guy is a condescending idiot.

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
