Pros

The strength of this company is the designers, working with incredible IP.

Cons

They run the company like it's a small business still, even though it's a global behemoth now. So if so-and-so goes on vacation, no one knows how to do something and everyone has to wait until they get back. During the pandemic the President constantly talked about how great it is WFH, meanwhile we were cramped in an office watching the company meeting there. We did not need to be there, especially during covid. Meanwhile the CEO was on his yacht or mansion in CA (we were all in WA). Last thing I'll say is the pay is WAY TOO LOW. It was less than minimum wage in Seattle, for a corporate company position, with no benefits. $17 an hour?

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.
