Pros

People you work with directly are good people, it is management that is a problem

Cons

Too many employees, you just become a number instead of a person. Getting vacation approved is like pulling teeth. There is NO communication between management and low level employees. Complaints always fall on deaf ears, and no consideration is given for any issues brought up. The discount is not even worth the trouble of working for this company. If you try to get a job in a different function of the company, you are treated worse than off the street applicants. They are too afraid you will leave and go to a different department.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
