Pros

fun business and cool people. Learned a lot here.

Cons

1 owner says to me "why cant i make a good margin for my company?" i say but hey, "this is marked up 65% what is the problem". owner says "what? where did you find that out?" i say "oh it's in the system". Next day- not allowed to look it up - overhaul to system.....dudes are too greedy.

This place is a joke.

Pros

Spent time learning and growing with a smart team and terrific manager. Got to work on potentially cool projects. Built relationships with great people. That's about it.

Cons

The group of execs make the worst decisions and are in denial about it. Failed investments, poor directions and unreasonable deadlines have caused them to layoff tons of people in the past few months. They have no concern for the growth and well-being of their employees and all they want to do is use you up until they've sucked everything out of you. No matter how long you've been with the company and no matter how much you've sacrificed for it, they could let you go because of someone else's mistakes. Designers are rushed to design products but once it is handed off, the next person decides to sit on the idea for a year, delaying the process. I've seen many well-designed products get to the point where they are ready to go on shelves, however they end up no where. At least put something up on the online store! Well, we know that's not going to happen now because they laid off everyone who would be able to do that. We also know that you'll never give your employees decent benefits either.

Pros

best people to work with, the job itself can be enjoyable, great vendors to work with, free snacks from time to time.

Cons

get ready to be lied to from the get go...promises of bonuses (chances are slim) they will tell you that your family but it's a highly dysfunctional one and will abuse your work ethic. Heavy workload and an inefficient data system will require some to work overtime and most are not compensated as they pay salary with the non-existent bonus to compensate your many late evenings at the office. high number of last offs. very little support from your management. very low pay. office politics are ridiculous, sometimes feels like high school and not in a good way.
