"Chewy's Employee Recognition Program"

What do you like best about Kudos? I love that as employees we get rewarded with gift options that are either practical to our everyday activities or products that someone may not be able to afford but can get it through recognition. e.g laptops, smart watches.

What do you dislike ...
