CHQ - not a good place.

Pros

- The people. I have met so many amazing people from working here. - The exposure to corporate life. It is a good place to understand how corporations operate, and to decide ultimately if you are willing to put in the time and pain to climb the corporate ladder.

Cons

- Unless you are a manager or a "favourite" (favouritism is HUGE here), you will be treated like garbage in terms of salary and respect - The culture is horrible. It is fake. And they are trying to "evolve" it to be similar to a tech hub/ start-up vibe. You can't force people to care about the company's goals when the company doesn't care about their employees. - Many "people managers" don't actually seem to care about managing PEOPLE. - There is no recognition/ reward for a job well done anymore. Before the consolidation of BBY/ FS there was, and now it's strictly business & numbers. Exhausting and dissapointing.

Pros

Good startng pay but not nearly enough for the amount work and things you have to put up with. Can be fairly reasonable at scheduling but will try to work you as much as possible.

Cons

Really bad to post schedules and notify of any changes made Hard to move up or change departments
