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.

Depending on you and your leader you can go far

It’s retail at the end of the day so expect to work for every dollar
