Pros

Cons
* nearly all jobs paid under market * start most recruiters off in temp positions with no benefits for 6-12 months * micromanaging culture * Most recruiters & HR don't physically work in the buildings/departments they support * excessive job requirements for retail positions and excessive number of interviews per candidate as well for jobs that pay way less than the competition * very difficult for store employees to move into corporate (no grow-from-within strategy) * nearly zero women in top management * "jock/cheerleader" mentality that often discriminates against those who speak out or suggest changes * german management translates poorly to american employees * disconnected from the community compared to competition * 'you should feel lucky to work for us' mentality
