Pros

Number 1 in technology, very efficient in areas such as customer service, and having the products that people want, almost regardless of what that may be.

Cons

Some mid and upper management personnel seem to to be in a total disconnect from the average worker, "associate" on the floor. It's hard to tell someone how to do something when you obviously don't know how to do it yourself. Having a college degree is one thing, having basic people skills and common sense is another.

Pros

-You can have a lot of responsibility early on, everyone has an influence on projects -Good pay -Fast-paced, growing environment with a lot of opportunities -Challenging work -Movement between departments is encouraged

Cons

-Very decentralized so there is little information sharing between groups -Individualist environment - since they run lean, you are typically working by yourself on projects -Long hours - poor work/life balance -Your experience is very dependent on your manager, and because the company is growing so quickly, there are many managers who haven't received the training or support on how to be a good manager
