Pros

The teams I've worked on were matured with established tech stacks and standards. The people are great to work with. Your work life balance is what you make of it. They encourage 50 days of learning (usually on Fridays) to stay up to date with software or improve your skills in any aspects. They are gearing towards using more modern tech stack so that's fun, but depends on the team you land on, may involve lots of legacy migration and modernization work. That can be exciting though.

Cons

Compensation is below industry trends

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
