Svantaggi
Used to be a stable company to work at, not anymore. Constant layoffs. Big ones every year and individual layoffs throughout the year. Have gotten rid of everyone over 50, so you will not retire here, unless you are a director or VP, then maybe. The Marketing Dept. was a frustrating, stressful place to work. It was hard to take any days off. Just when the work load gets normal, there are more layoffs, and then not enough people to do the work. It was hard to please anyone with your work - things picked apart. There is too much input from too many people at different levels on each project, which generates a lot of changes, and therefore inefficiencies. The merchants have some control over Marketing, so money is constantly being wasted, yet we got no raises for years. The CEO is constantly hiring new VPs or promoting people to VP, yet the excuse for no raise is always that the company is not doing well.
