Pros

I spend the first 10 years of my career in stuffy corporate environments, working at Checkout 51 for the last 1.5+ years has been a breath of fresh air. The Office is very trendy with a fantastic open concept and plenty of spaces to work quietly or have quick breakout meetings depending on your day. It is really nice to work for a company that values your efforts and has the utmost respect for my work/life balance. Management does everything they can to maintain a healthy work/life balance for their staff and encourage us to continue to develop our skills by providing tuition assistance. The staff are all very talented and driven to make the company the best it can be. They make coming to the office every day both fun and inspiring.

Cons

If you are someone that likes having their day to day set, it might be challenging for you. It's very fast paced environments and employees need to be flexible. This is not necessarily a con.
