Pros

A lot of good and smart people in the trenches. Great discount on shoes. Work schedule is very flexible.

Cons

Company has lost its way. Still make great shoes but have no idea how to sell them. Teams constantly working at cross-purposes. No real internal communication. Pay is so-so. Benefits are way below average.
