Pros

40% employee discount, Great Co-Workers, Great Company philosophy (if the management team in NY would follow the example by corporate)

Cons

Too much favoritism in the NY market. Management micromanages too much and there is too much politicing going on. No matter how great of a job you do, they will try to find something negative to focus on, totally disregarding all the great you've done. They don't follow the example/principles set out by corporate in Dallas. They need to get a whole new management team with the exception of one or two of the managers because obviously the visits and re-training of management is NOT working.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
