Pros

High level of autonomy; very good pay and benefits; Most positions are challenging and the caliber of the associates is generally very high. There are opportunities to advance and associates are encouraged to make cross-functional moves.

Cons

HR department is a weak link in the organization. The review process is chaotic as is the hiring process. The compensation package is overly complicated.

It was a great job for a marketing major straight out of college

Business Outlook

Pros

The best thing was working with some of the most recognized brands in the world! It was beneficial to work alongside some of the best marketers in the business. The company provided comprehensive training and stayed ahead of the curve in the industry and in their use of technology. I was fairly treated, fairly compensated and the benefits were better than most retail sales positions. All in all I learned alot about sales, marketing, branding and business that I still use.

Cons

The company is large and privately held so it was difficult getting on with them without an inside referral. Company developments and breaking news was not communicated as quickly to front-line employees. There was some gridlock in career advancement.
