Pros

People on the ground are absolute gems of humans. They're passionate about the sports their involved in, the brand and the product. Great, great people.

Cons

Safilo woefully mismanaged the brand driving good people away, and shifted focus away from the core history of the brand. Budgets were stripped and morale was negatively impacted.

Pros

Good benefits. PTO is generous. Healthcare is good.

Cons

Upper management creates annual sales goals that are unachievable. They put stress and pressure on the rest of the company to ensure they can reach them. Raises are 2% or less.
