Pros

Family atmosphere, room for promotions if you are a go-getter, above-average pay for retail,flexible schedules, good benefits, bonuses, variety of job duties available

Cons

Pay caps based on position, overtime is rarely available, turnover rate is relatively high because the job pool for retail is shallow, raises are .60 per year maximum without a promotion. They try too hard to create a "diverse" workforce...even if it means hiring under-qualified individuals just to fill a gender or race quota.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
