Pros

Everyone on the co-worker level (everyone except management) was great!

Cons

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION! Management doesn't know what they want the expect you to figure it out. Everyone in this store was always just trying to save themselves which created this terrible culture were everyone pointed the blame and all because management was unclear. They force you to do work that's not what you were hired for. The management was rude and nasty to coworkers ALL THE TIME. They would literally walk right past you and not say a word but talk about you behind your back to other management. When you needed help doing something that you didn't know how to do, because it wasn't your job management wouldn't help you. It was seriously the most toxic situation I've ever been in. I really do not recommend this location for ANY POSITION!

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
