Pros

Some good benefits. Most people are friendly to your face.

Cons

Lots of friends and family that work together. Also lots of snakes in the grass. Superficial, shady, immoral. Don't expect fair pay...

Pros

Good energy and a lot of passion for the brand. For a time, the company was growing rapidly so it was fun to see the excitement and challenges that came with the growth. Fair pay and good perks too, such as great discounts and dogs being allowed in the office.

Cons

Overall a pretty bad culture in a lot of ways. Plenty of nepotism which led to some really questionable hires. On the other hand, firings would be doled out with little transparency so one could never feel particularly safe in their role. A direct report of mine was fired with no prior write-ups despite me fighting against it, and it left me jaded to the company from then on. A lack of proper planning also left the shipping department scrambling at the ends of each month, and it could get very stressful and disruptive to my personal life. I literally never celebrated Halloween or New Years while working here.

Pros

A free lunch once a month.

Cons

Been here over a year now, and I only see our executive team stop at chat with their “favorites”. It’s a small enough company, I feel like they could at least try and say hi to ALL there employees, perhaps wave and acknowledge the rest of us? Nothing ever seems to be good enough. I wanted to work here for a local, smaller company instead of a corporate company but as it turns out, this place is pretty corporate. I’ve never felt appreciated, from anyone above me. I talk to co-workers in other departments and they feel the same way across the board. Few are shown gratitude or even thanked for putting work into the company. Even when I have expressed this to HR, I feel as if I get a “canned” response. Which I can’t be too upset about, HR exists to protect the company more than the employee. I’m sure this company would be cooler to work for if I were in marketing, where they get to travel, shoot guns and have face time with anyone and everyone. But if you work in the floor, you don’t get any of that. You get long hours, no face time, no thank you, no appreciation, no time down in the range and are “encourage” on a weekly basis to come in and work overtime.
