Bad Experience

Pros

-met excellent co-workers and made good friends -learned to build tough skin and workout problems on my own

Cons

-micro-managing, director(s) claim they're open to suggestions yet that's not true. Uncalled for manual work and paper waste is a result of managers "being open to new suggestions", yet the company claims to be "eco-friendly" -excessive fowl language from director(s) -directors have random gossip meetings while expecting employees to not speak -directors have no sense of confidentiality -HR department is not there for the employees but there to protect the company -managers lack people, ethics, professional skills. They're hired solely because they're friends or family of upper management leading to power trips -recognition is made only on mistakes -ample amounts of intimidation by directors to their employees

Horrible Leadership

Pros

If you like low pay and little to no career advancement opportunities, this is your kind of company.

Cons

Ownership has no idea how to run its better brands and puts pressure on brand management to run a profitable business on the cheap (no advertising, razor thin workforce, refusal to invest in stores)
