Pros

There is still an outdoorsy vibe to the place that they haven't managed to kill yet. Lots of climbers and skiers stoked on playing outside. My colleagues here are the best I've worked with anywhere.

Cons

They've gone too corporate and lost their soul. We don't design for outdoor enthusiasts anymore, we're just trying to be yet another mediocre apparel company is a sea of other mediocre apparel companies. It's impossible to get ahead in the company. Almost all management jobs are now filled with underqualified people from outside the company. Mentorship and internal promotions are firmly in the past.

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
