Pros

Decent wages and benefits and bonuses. External training in related fields subsidized where available. Good at diversified hiring practices.

Cons

Stressful working atmosphere. Understaffing in most areas results in work overload and unrealistic expectations from managers. Poorly trained front line managers that are more interested in making themselves look good at associates expense. Little room for advancement. Nepotism and favoritism in some hiring and job openings has occurred. Constant revolving door for Country Manager turnover resulting in no long tern direction by leadership. Human Resources is not always trusted to respond favorably to Associates concerns. Clear disconnect of the distribution associates from the office associates.

Pros

Group is filled with good people who help eachother. Boss gives me exactly what I need to be productive and effective. Benefits are pretty good. The work is interesting and challenging.

Cons

The IT procedures are really a pain. It makes it difficult to get anything done. The IT personnel are great, but they're hamstrung by policy making it hard to solve problems.
