Pros

- good benefits - nice work environment - flexible hours - friendly atmosphere

Cons

- standard and often uncompetitive wages - professional and wage growth is difficult to achieve - difficult to get recognized for individual achievements - impossible to apply creative and unconventional thinking (i.e. Law of Jante) - no personal skill development in terms of external training, certification, etc. - too much bureaucracy and infighting between the departments (Corp. IT, HR, DevOps) - working overtime is more common than exceptional (can be 150-200% of standard working hours) - management is inflexible, mediocre and often unskillful in their area - lack of responsibility and ownership - too many unproductive meetings - the company environment accepts only Danish-minded people - can get very boring after a couple of years - the HQ is located in Billund in the middle of Denmark (rural area, no railroad)

Pros

Great Coworkers and Supervisors Great benefits 50% off on discounts on sets

Cons

Overworked in the weekends and holidays there was many times where the store was understaffed and we needed more employees to work High School Mentality with some of the employee's people would have clique groups during work Going back to employees there was some employees that were very lazy and or incompetent and nothing was done about it
