Pros

The people that you work with here are some of the best and brightest. I made some great friends at this company. The people that you work with there are really the only pro of the company. You get free product from time to time, but that doesn't even come close to making up for the headaches and stress that this place will put you through

Cons

Where to begin? First off, don't expect a high trajectory career path here. You are pretty much going to stay in the position you are hired to do and not get a promotion or raise, unless you are an upper management favorite. You will be expected to do the work of seven people, while only being paid pennies for it. The office is waaaay too small for the number of people that work there, and there are no plans to even expand, so if they hire more people they are going to have to start sitting on the floor. This seems like a greedy way to save money and have their employees work in ridiculous quarters just so the CEO and senior management can reach their yearly revenue goals by minimizing expenses. There isn't even a receptionist, so when a high profile person comes into the office they make another employee sit at the receptionist desk to give the appearance that this company has it all together, which is far from the case. The turn over rate is insane! With the number of people going in and out of the doors there you would think the company would do more to try and change the culture and keep people, but everyone there is just looked at as expendable. They are more confident in the fact that they know people will always apply for job there just because it is a well-known brand, but don't want to actually focus on keeping current employees. Even though the company is nearing on 20 years old you'd think it's still just a few years old and going through growing pains, which goes to show that the CEO and management don't actually want to invest in the company and make the operations more seamless and easier. This whole company is pretty much jerry-rigged together

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
