Pros

Program to receive higher education, 20 free therapy sessions a year, health insurance

Cons

You lead two more departments than any other team lead (cafe, HMS, rotisserie chicken). The cafe throws away so much food and nothing can be done about it because it's a corporate decision. Bad managers can make your position harder than it needs to be. The managers don't train you - they have employees who've worked there for less than 4 months training me the wrong way so I have to double check everything's being done correctly.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
