Pros

Surrounded by a lot of well-rounded, smart and motivated individuals. The benefits for part-time to full-time employees are almost like golden handcuffs. It's a very low stress job for a livable wage.

Cons

Run-ins with micro managers, unclear growth path, interviews are more difficult than they have to be.

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
