Pros

Great people, activities and clients. There is plenty of passion for sport/surfing and talking about surfing. Casual environment. Stock option programs. Work hard and get to play hard.

Cons

Very limited career pathways. Very limited or non-existent learning and development.

Pros

Great team, great product (mostly) which makes it easier to sell. No commissions which I found made for a better work environment. Opportunities to travel to company sponsored events overseas which was great.

Cons

Some seemingly unreasonable/culturally inappropriate rules coming down from HQ. High worker turnover in the store I was in.

Pros

Your coworkers and health benefits.

Cons

Management is unorganized, abusive, defamatory, immature, and favoritism is evident. There are layoffs every other month. There is absolutely no room for promotion. They hire inexperienced people over good people which makes others have to work harder for less. You are never safe or secure in your position. When there are layoffs they expect you to absorb every position and do it all with a smile. Empathy doesn't exist. They hire people with connections over talent, and that cripples the company and the employees. There are often over-night work nights or far into the early mornings. You cannot question the management because you are "lucky to be there at all". They make interns work over night.
