Pros

discount was nice (once quarterly) complimentary soda/water

Cons

first off, they offered $50 Nike gift cards for positive glass door reviews so go figure as to why they have any good reviews and they are all fake (they got called out by others as well) . Second, very high turn over we lost like 8-10 a month at times. Lost an associate designer and me the assistant was supposed to pick up ALL the work. Management (including supervisors) are rude catty and unprofessional. I worked for this company from February 2017 until July 2017. When i first came in for my interview I was promised a "work life balance" and a "family atmosphere" well that was a load of crap. Working in design was awful you where always expected to stay late and are treated like trash by upper management (who is really clueless and stops work from being done) The design director on my team was a major psycho with a huge attitude problem and ego. I was constantly re-doing the same work stopping all productivity due to OCD designers/design directors. I have never been within a position in design where I am pushing paperwork all day. I got put on "probation" the day after I tried to switch roles within the company and would have weekly touch base meeting with my design director, HR and designer on my team. this process was to constantly tear you down and only focus on the negative, they even lied multiple times or had their facts misconstrued. overall I was miserable from week two and luckily found a great new job before my "probation" month was up and I was terminated. It was nice going into the meeting and telling them to shove off I'm out. Overall they could have been a great starting opportunity but they don't have their stuff together. I have many friends who worked there and hated it or got let go. They expect too much without compensation. Just an overall toxic non conducive environment.

Pros

The people in office (not Management) are good people who just want to support their families.

Cons

The "Management" knows nothing about managing correctly. They expect you to give them your time and the lowest wage. Unless you know the right people and kiss up, you will go nowhere. Certain managers and other "favorite" employees get the perks - expensive company cars (Lexus, Jeep, BMW, Cadillac, Land Rovers), gas cards, expense account, travel time, tolls. These are not all managers who are getting these perks. If you started in Bayonne and are brought in by van you get paid 1 extra hour per day for going to work, no tolls/gas/insurance/wear and tear on your car, and they get to leave 15 minutes early (paid) to beat the traffic. While other people who drive (some drive 25-40 miles one way)and pay tolls, gas and wear on their car get nothing. The whole company is rigged with cameras EVERYWHERE! They are so untrusting of their staff (office and warehouse). You are watched and recorded every second. You are NOT allowed to talk in the front office, just work. Very bad for moral.

Pros

Very young, dynamic, with a great portfolio of brands to build strong knowledge in the industry, ideally located in midtown New York. People are goal oriented

Cons

It was a great experience overall, the only issue I had was with some managers getting involved in too much micro management
