Pros

Solid benefits- health, PTO and unlimited sick time. Nice office building with decent food options nearby (for those of us that don't pack our lunch).

Cons

Really challenging work environment that seemed to be very heavily effected by senior leadership that were doing the bidding of a crazy CEO. SVPs and VPs doing Manager level work based on direct orders from the CEO. Which meant that managers were doing the work of individual contributors and so on down the ladder. I was recruited to do this amazing job that never actually come true. It felt like a total bait and switch. The commute to the Secaucus offices from NYC was really challenging. Nothing was ever on time, coming or going so I was late for meetings and couldn't get back into the city to make firm plans (dinner or workout class) as nothing about the commute timing was guaranteed. While I was there, a number of small departmental only or larger company wide layoffs happened, and since I have left, I have heard about wave after wave of layoffs, letting go good employees.

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
