      Pros

      Free parking, onsite cafe, and gym, travel, staff. Good people and a deep level of experience in design and manufacturing products. A good place for young designers fresh out of school to make a name and build a portfolio but the smart ones move on quickly.

      Cons

      The workload is oppressive. Revolving door. Management values speed to market and quantity over quality. Design requests from large accounts equate to dollars and design constraints place innovation on the back burner. Management is risk adverse and disorganized.

      Pros

      - cool work environment - investment into the business (i.e. SAP) - strong brand - innovative and original designs - ownership is involved - global company based out of Toronto

      Cons

      - you need to fit within the Umbra "appropriate" look - old regime is close minded and not open to new ideas - continual turnover - a new face being introduced weekly - highly emotional company - Senior Management sets the tone - brand confusion - functional for mom or design for high-end décor? - company revolves around designers and yet they continually leave
