Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Rewarding but draining
Pros: Exceptional benefits for a retail job
Opportunity to learn with exciting technology 
Overall decent mentorship
Career builder but not within the company 
Inclusive environment, friendly co-workers.
Cons: -Challenging environment- fussy and unreasonable customers are inevitable in any technology-related job, but the traffic is non-stop. 
-Leadership can be a bit manipulative/immature. I often felt like our values were undermined with constant and unnecessary pressure from hitting redundant metrics. Even the most hard working employees felt like they were subject to managerial gossip. 
- Schedules can be inexplicably difficult. It was never  needed to work nine days in a row, but sometimes you just did. I've never had such a poor work/life balance in my life. 
-  Training program became very watered down and a lot less engaging. 
- The gap between retail and corporate is large. Very large.
