Pros

• Good work-life balance • Got to work with some passionate, wonderful people

Cons

• Lack of culture - doesn’t seem like it’s a priority for the company to foster any sort of culture or community • Huge lack of transparency - no one wants to answer questions about the wellbeing or future of the company or its brands. Lots of gaslighting and sometimes even hostility from management in order to avoid having to answer questions. 3-4 rounds of layoffs, brands being folded all while management and higher ups keep saying “We’re in a really good place and are not considering layoffs.” • Horrible management - managers who show up unprepared, don’t communicate effectively, behave unprofessionally and create toxic environments for their teams are rewarded with promotions, even after their horrible performance is acknowledged by others • Zero growth opportunities - conversations about growth and development go nowhere and are met with more gaslighting and hostility. Was told multiple times to “stop asking questions” and “stop asking about growth.” • One of those places where you regret staying too long
