Pros

Fun, fast-paced, and dynamic company culture made up of young, entrepreneurial individuals.

Cons

The company is run by a CFO who deflects responsibility and often blames others for his own mistakes. There is a serious lack of leadership and direction at the top, which creates confusion and low morale across teams. In my experience, Alex Hoenn went from treating me with professional respect to publicly undermining me in company-wide emails within a matter of weeks. The environment quickly became toxic and emotionally draining. Proceed with caution if you value psychological safety and professional growth.

Pros

Honestly not many pros come to mind

Cons

Where to begin. The chief brand officer is not bright and terrible at his job. HR is a one woman show who also runs the customer care department with no certification. The girls spend most of their time talking about their co workers and complaining. If you try to just stay quiet and not suck up to the chiefs you get fired. The “leadership” is a bad joke. You have maybe 2 people that come from apparel and they are treated like they don’t know what they are doing. It’s like working in the twilight zone. The direction changes every other month. It’s traumatic and abusive and one of these days they will get sued. The chief expects you to attend his little events that just waste money on the weekends and if you don’t want to go you are punished/let go. They love to play the blame game but in reality the chief Sebastian is running the company into the ground and quickly.
