Business Outlook

Pros

-Decent starting pay -Many open positions -Diverse and Inclusive -Benefits are mediocre

Cons

-Work/life balance is horrific if you have a family you like to spend time with (Nature of Retail). -Management level (ETL) expected to work 50 hrs a week (Five 10 hr shifts) with the extra 10 hours of overtime "built into" the salary. -Not enough real world training -Anyone below Store Director gets awful merit/annual raises -Micromanagement -Specifically for AP, your job is on the line every day because of the legal aspects and public relations. You'll be scapegoated immediately if anything remotely goes awry and management ensures you walk on eggshells at all times, complying with poorly worded and subjectively interpreted directives to follow.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good for development work - working on latest stuff, new projects, fresh code developments. 2. Flexibility in terms of work schedule, timings, empowerment of employees. 3. TM's are empowered to contribute to designs etc 4, Great for women.

Cons

1. Growth is super tough. Promotion needs luck - you need to be in a team where such an opportunity is available, perform beyond limits, do enough work outside projects - be it hackathon etc to create some sensational visibility powered by good contacts. Only then a promotion works. 2. Regular good work in day to day life will always fall short for a promotion. 3. Good growth for lateral hires but super tough for exiting members to go through. 4. Much appeasement for women TM's who get longer rope and support for a growth. Lots of programs for women and much easier to move up if one is even a little ok resource,
