Pros

The pay’s reasonable, benefits are solid, and team dynamics can be decent—though that really depends on who you report to. A good manager can make the day-to-day manageable, but that consistency isn’t guaranteed.

Cons

Toxic doesn’t even begin to cover it. The workplace culture has deteriorated under poor leadership -people in charge either lack a backbone or turn a blind eye. There’s blatant favoritism, leaders who gaslight their teams, and an HR function that no longer advocates for employees. Instead of acting as a trusted partner, HR now operates more like an extension of leadership’s worst impulses. The result? A culture where speaking up feels risky and doing the right thing rarely gets rewarded.

Pros

Employee discounts and sample sales are pretty good. They even bring a DJ to make the shopping experience exciting.

Cons

Senior management is terrible. There's pretty much no creative freedom. Everything is templated, and the old creatives do not like the changes. Bullying and favoritism exist within teams. One time, I had to wait until 9 pm to grab dinner after finishing work. Then, when I took a cab, they asked me if I had consumed the dinner in the office, due to the time stamp on my cab receipt being only 5 minutes apart. They told me I couldn't get a free meal unless I ate in the office, even though I work late. It's clear they do not care about the employees.

Not worth it run

Pros

Discounts on cheaply made merchandise.

Cons

Clicky management that plays favorites with long term employees. Most new employees are stuck doing all the hard work and treated poorly, while management and leads hang out in the break room either gossiping or on their phones when it's not even break time. No sense of direction and a whole lot of micro managing. Most staff did not pick up after themselves. POS system was dated and merchandise almost always had some type of flaws yet still would be sold to people.
