Pros

Brands are well recognized in the marketplace. Stable company that is growing internationally. Casual dress code. If you work for Lifetime you will work with some great people.

Cons

Public company but almost every senior position has some connection to the Siegel/Cohen families. You will see someone with a different last name and think, "how did they get that job" then find out they are married into the family or someones cousin. If you are not in the inner circle yhou will not go anywhere in the company. Pay is well below average and company only gives cost of living raises. Bonuses are minimal if at all. Benefits are poor. Although the insurance improved in 2013 it is still expensive and no matching 401k.

Pros

The job involves wearing many hats, making the daily tasks diverse and engaging. A great place to develop strong skills in cross-functional communication, acting as the critical middleman between Sales, Marketing, and Operations.

Cons

Sadly, the compensation for this role is significantly below the industry standard for a Category or Product Manager with comparable responsibilities. There is no room to grow beyond a certain point, and there seems to be a lack of awareness of the efforts and quality of work that middle roles, such as a category manager, provide. Most of the grace goes to the salespeople who typically receive all of the information from people in our position. With the increasing lack of value placed on this role, there has been a slow decline in output due to unrealistic expectations paired with thankless and minimal rewards. People have left, been let go, and those left are burning out.
