Pros

Great people, great new CEO, great perks, strong culture of collaboration, huge amount of opportunities. Big year coming up.

Cons

Siloed teams and responsibilities can be frustrating. Change feels like it takes a while to land. Compensation isn't the best.

Pros

Fellow employees are helpful and generally fun to be around Discount/Prodeals allow you to use the products you sell Very understanding management, will work around your schedule for the most part Laid back, relaxed company culture

Cons

The only downside is the inconsistent and unpredictable hours. Some weeks you work 6 days, some weeks only 1. You have to work weekends.

Pros

Surrounded by outdoor enthusiasts - employees and consumers alike. If you worked hard and had a good attitude, it was rewarded. Benefits were great - discounts, time-off, health. Open door policy.

Cons

Though work hours were flexible in the retail stores, not having a set schedule also can get difficult to manage. Pay and raises aren't the best.
