Pros

Nothing -- even the employee discount was bad and very poor product quality! Everything is plastic or plastic lookalike!

Cons

Everything - forced to work overtime without OT pay. Even HR looked down at you if you left on time or worked from home because of a snow storm or the pandemic! Only way to get ahead or a raise is if the exec team or owner likes you. If they call you, run and run as fast as you can!

Pros

Lovely people to work with; a great place to make connections and lasting friendships. In addition, lunches are always a plus since you really get to know your your team members as well as coworkers from other departments. Collaboration / connections are really created through this time. Very open environment that allows for all concepts and ideas to be considered. You feel valued as an employee. Monthly team building activities really help boost creativity and have brought the team members closer together. Lead designer is a very caring individual that finds value in creating a calming and inclusive atmosphere for their designers. Always willing to listen to new ideas and issues; constantly looking out for their team members. They are a great asset to this company's reputation. Great place to learn new and exciting methods of manufacturing due to their large range of suppliers.

Cons

Workload comes in waves. Long hours are expected for in order to deliver the same quality of work day-to-day. Benefits aren't the best of what's out there for a global company of this stature, but they could be worse.

They never take a look at your work

Pros

It was something to be working as intern for this company.

Cons

Whatever they tell you that you can achieve, is entirely untrue. There's nothing meaningful done here for your career, they don't trust the interns to do any of the designing. They just let you do the basic things or try to make designs of your own but they never take a look at your work.
