- Garbage pay that is not proportionate with the work that is required. They had one person doing 3 different jobs in Marketing! Additionally, the marketing team is composed of recent Indian and Pakistani immigrants (i.e. cheap labor).
- Hilariously unorganized structure in Canada. The general manager is a Mexican national who believes that opening retail locations in economically destitute provinces (i.e. Newfoundland) is a logical idea. The Canadian marketing director is a Dutch national who lives in Boston (literally no relationship to the Canadian market). The finance head doesn't have a CPA.
- Weak business model. Heavily discounting products (+60%) every single month.
- The "office" is a storage closet in the middle of a forest in Mississauga. The HR team was seriously considering mandating a return-to-office schedule involving a storge closet.
- Italian HQ doesn't care about Canada. It is an accessory to the premium USA product.
- HR could be inept and confrontational at times. Job responsibilities were not clearly communicated and my job title was even misspelled!
