Pros

The work is fulfilling and interesting if you like working in analytics and data analysis. You learn a lot of valuable skills working here through the day to day operations. The company is on the younger side in terms of age and it’s evident in the environment.

Cons

Leadership is very poor. Has tons of Europeans at the top of the chain and they do not know how to adapt to the US markets. They also do not like to promote within the company, at least with U.S. colleagues. they prefer to bring over someone in Europe to fill manager positions rather than promote within the U.S. It is also very political when it comes to promotions and that is evident with who gets promoted and how quickly that is done. Leadership is also allergic to change. They refuse to change the processes and Operations differently then the European models and the company suffers.

Pros

Some colleagues, but that's it

Cons

Even though they claimed it was part-time, would be me on more hours than stated in my contract, even though the store would shut at 9 pm some nights we wouldn't leave until 22:30/23:00, management are bullies, would never offer people chances to progress or get off till, basically don't work here unless you like to be overworked and under-appreciated
