Pros

People work hard A lot of locations throughout the US if you love to relocate You can move up the ladder very quickly if you are willing to relocate

Cons

Their sales have been dropping over the last few years, and they are trying their best to make it up by slashing cost everywhere they can. This includes constantly cutting benefits for their employees, delaying raises, hiring freeze after every Q2, Layoff's...(I probably have seen more round of layoffs than merit increases) Very high turnover 401k match vested at the end of each year. New policy to try employees to stay longer.
