Employment status: current

Great company, dissatisfied with management and policies.
Pros: Cutting edge products, enormous global footprint, industry leader.

Diverse team, some very talented like-minded individuals.

Fast paced, skills-intensive, fosters personal growth.

Excellent benefits compared to other full time retail.
Cons: Little to no recognition for exceeding expectations and taking on extra responsibilities; overwork and burnout are common, poor work/life balance, poor pay.

Many incompetent colleagues, and salary does reflect personal performance compared to peers. 

Management is generally poor or inconsistent, lack communication, have little knowledge of products/technology, and push hard for numbers.

Still glorified retail - angry entitled customers, overcrowded store, repetitious, cult-like atmosphere, retail schedule.
