Pros

Free candy and some great associates to work with

Cons

The company stresses the importance of their 5 principles and literally beat them into a new associate upon hiring. The problem with this company is that they do not practice what they preach. The corporate office is a joke with people who pull rank and refuse to acknowledge anyone beneath them. You must walk on eggshells when the family is in the office because heavens forbid they are in a bad mood. On several occasions they have yelled at associates in front of everyone. They have no understanding of how to hire properly or keep the associates who are working well. People have been hired simply to fill a position they were tired of interviewing for only to be fired months later because they were not the right fit. Management there is not competent. The promote the wrong people and give them line management privileges when they lack the people skills or general skills to lead a team.

Pros

Fantastic opportunities to understand a drastically diverse cultural setting. Lots of opportunities to grow with your own initiative. Great place for a self-lead individual.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities. Focus is now on college grads rather than experienced professionals. Difficult to watch newbies surpass you in career grade as you put your heart into the work being done. Company is lacking passion.
