Retail vs. Corporate

Pros

As long as you put in your available hours with enough warning, management did an okay job of respecting employee time off requests. Some coworkers were great. Free coffee is a huge perk, and the company has started to add some benefits for full time employees.

Cons

The company tends to push out employees with new or innovative ideas that do not mesh with the CEO's ideas. There is no respect for staff autonomy. The corporate office has no respect for the retail staff, frequently coming in, making jokes at staff expense, and disrespecting staff's time and expertise. When the air conditioning broke at the height of the summer (in a shop where the equipment maintains a temperature above 200 degrees), staff were expected to work full time +, and the corporate office laughed in staff's faces when asked for a bonus or any recognition of the WEEK spent working in 100+ degree store interior. There is a frat vibe from the office, with the only female staff hired being young and stereotypically attractive and not in any management position.

Pros

Commonwealth Joe offers employees the opportunity to grow and maximize their strengths. Management recognizes when an employee's talents could be better utilized and is swift to align workload with those skills.

Cons

As with any startup, there are times when all hands are needed on deck which can require employees to step outside of their comfort zone and do tasks outside of their normal workload.
