Pros

They will teach you everything! I earned my certification within a few months with no prior experience. It is a great place to start

Cons

THEY CUT HOURS! I went from 20-30 hours a week while a in school full time to maybe getting 5-10 hours. Nationwide hour cuts destroyed part time folks

Pros

Coworkers and direct managers are amazing. Has nice benefits and amenities.

Cons

The recruiters and interviewers aren't transparent about the duties of the role in the position. They don't pay their employees equally even though they don't allow negotiated salary. They aren't very trusting of their full-time associates. The work that a category specialist does is very tedious, repetitive, and not challenging at all. They advertise and promise a lot of great things, and continuously fail to follow through on their word. They don't do right by people.

Blind to technology, they struggle

Pros

The work is pretty simple - sell stuff online, make it easier to buy and get stuff. Big annual bonus for good performance. Motivated people all around you.

Cons

Hiring people with little expertise or experience into "senior" roles just to plug gaps in headcount. Blind to how they're losing the *technology* battle - very little in analytics or smart tech except in very small, specific teams. It's like they don't know what tech is about - having more data so you're more aware and informed. Beholden to the know-nothings in Arkansas, it's like watching your team lose the game from the sidelines. "Business" people in Arkansas make tech decisions they don't understand. eCommerce is all about power struggles, but they're chasing their tails - Arkansas has all the power. With nothing to really lead, "leadership" spends their time controlling people, getting you to fall for the allure of it being a great company. It's a distraction from the problems they won't or can't solve.
