Pros

Great products, great benefits. Really great vision and mission statements. Very innovative company.

Cons

Turning into a big box retail. Bad pay. Payroll hours are limited during slower times of year but company continues to increase staff which causes hours per employee to average around 10 per week during slower time periods, about half the year. This decreases morale considerably. Management is overall very positive but can tend to value going outside the company for positions rather than promoting from within. This leads to a lot of senior and regional managers who don't share the culture of the company and who have a large learning curve to get up to speed.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
