Pros

Great pay and benefits, great 401K, great reputation, great-looking stores. Lots of good people work for this company. If you have a degree in basket weaving, the sky is the limit.

Cons

Lots of talk about "Fast, fun and friendly" is lip service.

It's not the same company I started working for a long time ago.

They sacrifice a lot of great executive talent for college kids with a degree.

There's a high rate of failure with hiring fresh-out-of-college students into ETL positions.

Work/life balance is a running joke for ETLs.

Advice to Management

Support focus service areas with payroll to accomplish tasks and services. Development of the team is important, but remember that we are here to sell stuff.
