Pros

Getting to go home at the end of the day. Whether it's 10 minutes or 180 minutes after you were meant to go home.

Cons

Don't degrade yourself by working here. Can see it being bearable for shop assistants, but not for managers on 47.5+ hours a week.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
