Pros

• Decent pay for entry level designers. • Exposure to different aspects of business through cross-functional team meetings. • A recognized name for your resume.

Cons

• Corporate culture revolves around superficial gossip, fitting in, and kissing ass. • Not a results-oriented environment, meaning your work will not be able to speak for itself. • Interest in other aspects or divisions at the company is discouraged as being outside of your "area of expertise" aka "AOE". • You have to constantly communicate with absurd, buzz-word language.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
