Pros

great opportunities to move around within the company, some great young talented people, lots of opportunities to do everything from property management, marketing, finance, distribution/supply chain, financial products, stores management, building services - you name it, it's there.

Cons

- not friendly in considering flexible work arrangements like the other big retailer in town (ROWE) or job share arrangement - can be more political than it used to be with more people positioning and overtly lobbying to look good in front of others - it happens everywhere but have noticed more of this in the last 3 years - performance measurement puts people in a "Performance/Potential" grid that can be difficult to get out of a certain "label" that can inhibit advancement - likewise, a certain Leadership Profile test can stick around forever and cap your career at a certain level
