Pros

It was a pleasure to work there. My coworkers were smart, kind, and funny. Management in my department worked hard to keep staff happy. The people working there (in most any department) believe in the company and its mission. I think most of the executives and middle management care a lot about their employees. I highly recommend working there. The office is really nice too.

Cons

There are some really cool tech projects and initiatives there, but I was not working on them. It's hard to increase one's salary significantly staying at the same place.

Pros

Good benefits and diversity initiative at the time.

Cons

The company lied about what the job was. A "community building local representative" for their brick and mortar stores ended up just being a cold calling job and taking incoming calls for other stores. No room to move up. The management was the worst I ever worked for. Weird rules where they signed the lease, including someone having to stay in the store in inclement dangerous weather. Most of the "old school" employees I came into contact with drank the Kool Aid in a weird way that left no room for criticism. I left in 2022 and have been watching the rating here fall for all the years since. Could have been a great company but I wouldn't ever give them my energy now, as an employee or customer.
