Pros

It is a team environment and they are very proactive regarding training and team activities to support their sub culture

Cons

Working in the graphics department - when installing the floor graphics there were two choices - be on the ground applying the graphics before store hours (risking being run over by pump trucks) or during store hours (risking being run over by shopping carts)

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
