Do NOT be fooled by 'perks' - it's literally a trap.

Pros

- Employees on the floor often have a great relationship with each other (not upper management), largely driven by their discomfort and mistreatment in the company. - Health insurance - Free product

Cons

- HIGH turnover rate. - Below market rate compensation for the majority, only a select few OG employees (less than 5) are paid well, but not proportionately to their output. - They killed the atmosphere on the floor with cubicles. Additional brands that the CEO has interests in are constantly rotating in and out of the doors - either physically in the office, or marketing strategies are copy pasted across companies (though they'll never admit it). - The leadership style is run by fear-mongering - the CEO is disinterested in people, always walking in and out of the office without so much as a greeting (not even welcoming to new hires). A trend followed in upper management believing that they know everything, and leading by fear. Employees are told to just take it or be quiet because certain individuals call all the shots - and if you don't, your work life will be made a living hell or you'll be forced out. - It's well understood that bonuses, raises, promotions or any similar rewarding is given few and far between, but when it does occur, it's only to those who forfeited their quality of life to respond to Slacks and calls way after or before hours. - The handful of OG employees are also well-known to be there because they're protected and are in more comfortable positions, but they too have admitted to fearing stepping 'out of line' or having limitations of how far they can stand up to those that are bullying. - Unlimited PTO? HAHA. If you dare take the time off, I can promise you won't actually be "offline" for long. I can count the days I was truly off the grid on my hands, over several years of working there. When you get back, it's a nightmare pile up. - As far as future outlook, they work the books across companies, sooner or later that has to catch up. - Note** If you DO hire on, please be sure to look after yourself and analyze those contracts with a fine-toothed comb. Make sure you know exactly what limitations and expectations you're signing on for.

Pros

I was very lucky during my time there. I had a great team that worked very well and bonded together. Other than that, there's not much going for them. The snacks were good for all food allergies.

Cons

They call themselves a start-up but they have been long past that stage, due to the high turnover, there's many newbies that are extremely underpaid just trying to learn the trade of the business and make it out here in the adult world after college. Because of that, they tend to make many small mistakes that are equivalent to a start up company. Furthermore, you are expected to work at all hours of the day and night, whenever your manager requests it, which translate to overtime with none of the benefits, just as that's the norm of the overall culture of the company. It is known that you will only grow within the company if you are available at all times to the CEO demands and impulsive due dates, and there are favorites. Management also tends to keep company plans secret unless something slips out or they do not have any alternative choice. Even then, they only inform those affected and that's when the whisper and gossiping seeps through. While I was there, there were many employees laid off, simply due to disagreements with the marketing ideas. Afterwards, most team keep their head down and continue working due to the heavier work load. Lastly, the CEO expects everything to be done within a few hours or days compared to the necessary weeks or month it takes to have everything prepared. This causes lots of stress within the team.

Great people to work with. Free snacks

Cons

Owner of the company constantly lied to everyone. Hired and fired people. Never seen so many come and go from company. (I quit FYI.)
