Pros

Some talented / dedicated people. Potentially interesting product and business.

Cons

Toxic corporate culture long - unrewarding days and mediocre pay. Owners ineffectively manage through fear and blame while displaying no leadership capability.They are consistantly unethical be it supplier treatment, employee lay off strategies or how they portray themselves to the community. The company has been the proverbial revolving door. The businesss has survived in spite of management due to the Disney liscense.

Pros

Dedicated staff that truly wants to help.

Cons

Too much micromanagement and not trusting the people you have hired. Knee jerk reactions and changes vs strategy and planning. Expectations for growth not well planned out or organized. No best practices, too many silos and decisions made in vacuums.

Pros

Excellent health benefits and relaxed dress code.

Cons

(In former employee's opinion) Poor leadership and unclear expectations from most management. Abundant stress placed on mid level managers/employees is evident, and training time of new people is insufficient because of this. Hints of nepotism and good ol' boy culture are evident. Boring, tedious work assignments and outdated business practices will attract few young, creative workers. This will leave the company in a bad place when their long time leadership retires over the next several years. Low pay. Non union, which is especially disappointing for the warehouse side of things.
