Pros

Owner of company has a strong sense for marketing. If you can put up with the cons there is room to grow within the company.

Cons

Despite the owners knowledge in marketing he has 0 idea how to create product or how to run a company. His insecurities come out as micro managing and he creates a culture of fear and distrust. I have watched him cuss at and belittle his employees multiple times. The turnover rate is very high. There is NO overall company direction. Every strong company that I have worked for has a strong sense of self. BYLT has no identity. 0 work/life balance.

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, solid product. Opportunity to learn about how to deal with bad bosses.

Cons

Executive team has no plan or strategy. Constantly chasing todays popular trends or celebrity endorsements puts BYLT behind the other brands that are actively creating these trends. They don't listen to their employees ideas unless you're part of their "boy's club" and continually force through plans that the team doesn't believe in. Listen to your employees. CEO thinks he's so in tune with fashion and trends he directly instructs designers and developers and must be present for every line review, except the styles he gets his hands on are consistently the worst sellers of the line. Have a meeting scheduled with the President? You won't know if it's actually happening until 15 minutes after the scheduled start time, and half the time it'll be cancelled without even seeing him. Some of the worst communication I've ever seen. All in all, their leadership styles are atrocious. Constantly creating division between departments, reprimanding you for having a thought against their own, and scold you for asking for clarification on a task or project - even when the executives don't know what they truly want. You better be able to read minds and be ready to drink gallons and gallons of their "Kool-Aid" if you are going to be successful here.
