Pros

-Entry-level employees are given an unusual amount of responsibility; great for someone young who wants a lot of experience across many different departments -Beautiful product and great company aesthetic

Cons

BAD MANAGEMENT -Wildly unpredictable, drastic mood swings, takes everything personally, very distrustful of own employees -Completely delusional and has zero idea that the appalling manner in which they treat their employees is 100% unacceptable and disgusting by any normal standards -There is no HR department, and therefore zero accountability for upper management -Hostile atmosphere, plagued by favoritism and bullying -Founder cries in front of employees on a regular basis NO STRUCTURE -Zero evidence of any overall business strategy in terms of planning, buying, or hiring -Business decisions often based on emotion/impulse rather than selling or any other kind of reporting -Company structure and process are constantly changing, as are employee’s responsibilities – the majority of employees end up having completely different jobs than what they were originally hired for -Processes change so often that employees have no time to adjust before a new process is introduced -Turnover rate is shockingly high and vacant positions are often left unfilled -Remaining employees end up absorbing the additional responsibility with no increase in salary or change in job title -These new roles and responsibilities are presented by management as being some sort promotion or act of employee appreciation, when in reality they just don’t want to spend the money on backfilling the position -Entry-level employees are given a ridiculous amount of responsibility with little to no training, and then fired on the spot or yelled at for making small mistakes LOW EMPLOYEE MORALE -Long hours, very little vacation time, horrible benefits -No sense of job security – most employees feel that they could lose their job at any moment, based on the current mood of upper management

Pros

It’s a job and you get a check. If you have a really good poker face and a high tolerance for immature adults, you could probably stand to work here until you find a better job.

Cons

Everything. Run like an emotional mom and pop operation with no structure, respect for employees or professionalism. I’ll spare you with examples as you can read the other reviews.
