Pros

Apparently there are ”some” nice people here. Aside from some assistants, I never met any.

Cons

This is a systematically racist environment that profits off urban brands without having the appropriate representation within the company to ethically do so. My white boss told me one of the very few employees of color was unfit to represent the brand to potential partners. This person was perfectly capable and widely respected by our partners. ”Toxic environment” is an understatment. Open abuse, gossip, ineffective HR, intentional set ups, misguided business decisions like hiring all white people and referring to employees, licensees and retailers alike as ”idiots” is common practice. Do not let the smiling faces and flattering words during the interview fool you. It IS far WORSE than anything anyone has written here. Run.

Do NOT work for them

Pros

Some of the colleagues were genuinely good people. However NONE of them were in the upper management.

Cons

"This will ONLY take 2 minutes." - my favorite line from the higher-ups. They constantly made me feel like I was worthless because they thought my job was easy and needed no effort. These people are bullies, liars, ego-driven "leaders" who only acknowledged and promoted their families and friends. They treated the rest of their employees with no respect and gave them no chance to express their opinions. Trust me, you do not want to work for a place that can't even show respect to others or let you grow while making you feel miserable everyday.
