schema:sobject:describe command of SFDX CLI does not show Picklist values.

I am using the Schema Sobject describe command of SFDX CLI (Salesforce CLI) to get picklist values for a custom object picklist field in my org. Link: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_cli_reference.meta/sfdx_cli_reference/cli_reference_force_schema.htm#cli_reference_force_schema 

The issue here is that instead of showing the Picklist values the command outputs picklistValues: [Array] 
Below is an example of the output JSON i have for a field which is a picklist. Is this expected and how do we get the picklist values from SFDX CLI ? If I i use Force CLI it works fine for Sobject describe command.

I figured it out. Using --json actually prints the the picklist values as well.
