Pros
Made some great friends and appreciated working with some well known (although in some cases dying) brands. Pay was pretty good too. The fact that there could be upside was a good carrot.
Cons
Sold the dream of the sky's the limit and that thinking big in both ideas and execution will get you ahead. Unfortunately this is not the case - only family, and "friends of family" get ahead. Even if you bring in a lot of money, they will steal your deal and shun you. I have seen them use employees for their contacts, fire them, and then take the credit for the ongoing deals. On the brand side, I have seen some executives act unprofessional towards partners and vendors with full support of leadership allowing them to act that way. If you have a soul, it can uncomfortable to be in the same room. There is no vision, no mission, and no values. Tons of abusive meetings where leaders feel entitled to bully employees.
