      Pros

      Many great business men and women among the management team. Great relationships formed throughout the years. Great coffee.

      Cons

      Micromanagement. Always getting ready for rides with upper management and marketing rather than letting them see the stores the way they really are. Not enough time to do everything that is considered a mandatory minimum. Absolutely no quality of life. Take a photo of your family, you won't see them anymore. And nothing you do will be good enough because they only concentrate on what is in the bottom 20%. Even if you think you make good money, divide it by the hours you work and you have two mediocre jobs.

      Pros

      Successful Global Retailer due to scrappy leadership and teams. Plenty of opportunity to make a difference.

      Cons

      Company struggling with size and scale. BIG global company formed by acquisition - but integration is a big challenge. Process is not a strength, manual, scrappy workarounds make it "work". Lots of tech debt. WAY behind on data management. Senior Management finds it hard to spend for technology - and when they do, they focus on external, have not built the internal technical structure and understanding needed. Management can be very scattered, knee jerk reactions. Need a longer term view. New CEO does have a more focused style which will help.
