Pros
-Iconic Chicago brand -Domestic and international expansion -Casual corporate office work environment -Office location is very accessible to parking and public transit -Free Garrett in the office every day -Fun events like Festival of Lights Parade, Lollapalooza, charitable events
Cons
-Retention is not good, which affected office morale; constant worries of "who's next?" -Never worked in such a defensive environment before. This could be due to everyone's worry about their jobs, hence paranoia about who may stab you in the back. Somewhat highschool-ish. -Too much estrogen in high-ranking positions; very emotion driven actions vs. well-thought out strategic moves. -CEO has a love affair with Asia and domestic growth is often placed on the back burner. -HR needs better communication with employees regarding benefits, training, etc.
