Pros

Compensated wildly high even for market rate Unlimited PTO

Cons

Is it any wonder that this company run by a completely inept leadership team is going completely under? They have an inexperienced and incompetent leader who has perpetuated a culture of toxic back-stabbing, lack of financial or operational rigor, and overall a hot mess. Worse of all is the CEO at one of the brands who has been promoted from within even though she's demonstrated zero leadership skills or even the ability to craft a coherent email.
