Pros

Many light-hearted and genuinely friendly coworkers A good place to gain experience for an absolute maximum of two years Growth is possible, but you could easily be part of a mass layoff, or demoted Efforts are made at D&I. There were Black History Month and LGBTQ panels yearly, which is more than I can say for other places I've worked.

Cons

Compensation, but more so the benefits. Health insurance was expensive, and my employee classification was changed (don't ask me how because I don't know) which resulted in me not being eligible for their joke of a 401k plan. The company contribution capped out at something like $1300 per year, and when I called to see why it wasn't added after a year of me making my own contributions, I was told I didn't qualify for it anyway. Management (and everyone else for that matter) went through a revolving door. Communication was poor to nonexistent between managers, which led to constantly-confusing project expectations. The overall business model is slimy & works off of keeping people in the dark. I was in one of the higher levels of the company, but the "team members" on the ground made unacceptably little, while tasked with being pestery salespeople in stores that, in most cases, didn't want them there.
