Pros

Great tools, super connections with outside people, inside knowledge of the industry, and a fun industry.

Cons

Management has no respect for anyone that isn't part of their inside circle. They ignore quality people that want to work for the company for inexplicable reasons. One was "that guy LOOKS like a tool" even though management never interviewed the individual (who now happily works for a competitor). Only one manager there overall seems to have interest in the humans who work for him. Everyone else is always about themselves, taking credit for ideas and results. Little room to grow upward. The inside of the company feels unstable. Yes, I realize that the world of retail and relationships with retailers is shifting. Communication goes a long, long way to improving morale.

Pros

Schedule that’s the only pro

Cons

Take advantage of every employee!! They make u come in sick but then everyone with compromised immune system get very ill they write you up!!! When I was there they had lost 4 employees and now I’m still in touch with a lot of them and 3 more have quit and another looking for another job because they don’t pay enough and expect you to your job description as well as others while managers just sit at desk (they call it bull pin) they made over $20 million in November but refused to give any raise or bonus!! When they fired myself and another great employee they did so and ended up having to pay us unemployment because they fired us unlawfully
