Pros

They pay well as a consultant, they do offer apparel discounts but that is as far as the pros go, at least in my experience.

Cons

Behind the time in technology with processes for the sake of process. They expect long and drawn out hours and give it a sweat shop feel. They have the wrong people leading the area where I am assigned to. Too many egos. I collect a paycheck and go home.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Absolutely amazing work/life balance in one of the most relaxing cities in the U.S. - Competitive athlete culture that drives high performance while still seeming casual at the same time - People here really love sports and are passionate about the consumer. - Really great place to build foundational knowledge, as there are many trainings and a focus on process. - Employees are encouraged to build a career map and switching departments every two years or so is expected. Employees can also do a "stretch" of 6 months to try out new opportunities.

Cons

- Matrix environment, which is both a pro and a con. Pro: aligned decision making. Con: takes a bit longer to make decisions and harder to figure out who the decision maker is. - Supply Chain gets overshadowed by Brand, Product. - Data may be a 4-letter word in some areas and is hard to wrangle
