Pros

The benefits are awesome. I met some amazing people and had some really great managers.

Cons

Hours are long if you don't like working 10 hour shifts. Forced 60 hour weeks during the Christmas season, they try to make up for it with double overtime but taxes take most of it. They don't promote older associates (35 and up) to Area Managers or Operations Managers. They promote younger people (18-21).

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
