Pros

-Fun team, great individuals, strong sense of community on parts of the art side. - Work environment is fun, though can be too noisy for some. - Fan base is active and inspiring. - Pay is good, if you advocate for it. - Plenty of opportunities for motivated individuals to try and improve themselves

Cons

- While creative and talented, feedback needs to be delivered in a overly soft and delicate way. Art side can be sensitive - Interpersonal conflicts are resolved via management rather than individuals talking. - Strong gender imbalance among the Exec levels of leadership and management. - Career growth is limited and very political. - WFH has hurt the company culture. - Plenty of opportunity to be mediocre - Major culture change since IPO - Budgeting is not a issue until employee raises come up.

Pros

The team you get to work with and grow with is the best part of the job. If you’re into the product, the employee discount is solid I suppose.

Cons

Near zero chance for career growth with this company, within the retail store itself or moving up to corporate. The company has been subject to frequent layoffs and “restructuring”. The retail store has had three different general managers (so far). There are associates that have been part time for years, yet working full time hours, receiving no benefits. The retail store doesn’t utilize its workers properly. Good, solid workers have jumped ship completely due to burnout, being stepped on, management refusing to correct toxic workplace behavior, and selective coaching. You’re promised the opportunity to grow, but denied the development to make that a reality.
