Avantages
Some roles are still fully remote, which is a plus. If you end up on a good team with a good manager, it can make a lot of the cons below feel bearable. 30-50% discount is nice, but there are a lot of exclusions.
Inconvénients
Antiquated hours: their working hours are 8am-5pm, which you wouldn't expect from a global company that has employees working across timezones. It's such an antiquated idea of what a workday should look like. As they modernize their business practices (extremely slowly), this needs to be high on their list to fix. PTO policy could use an overhaul. Only 2 weeks vacation and 5 personal days, and you have to use your personal days if you're sick. There's no separate sick day allotment. It's a very stingy policy for a company that makes A LOT of money. Health Insurance options are just OK. Both the basic and premium plans have high deductibles. And they could cover more of the monthly costs. Diversity and Inclusion: about 80% of their employees are black and brown, but the corporate and executive representation does NOT match that. Not even close. It's upsetting. Like most companies, they forgot about their DEI commitments. They're also trying so hard to attract Gen Z, but strategic decisions are being made by an executive team that's full of Boomers and elder Gen X and they're about 70-80% white. It doesn't make sense. The way each department rolls out the new company strategy seems so disjointed. There's a lot of fan fare around store sales during company updates, but the executives don't seem to care about how well company strategy is executed across the org. Additionally, there are a lot of people at the org with long tenures, which can be a good and bad thing. It's mostly bad because they grew up in the company (a company with a lot of outdated practices) and they never learned new or better ways of doing things. Employees with longer tenures should go through some kind of strategy trainings or management trainings, to learn new skills and ideas.
