Pros
I have worked as an independent contractor for Dogeared on and off for over 8 years and one of the reasons I started with Dogeared was their positive messaging on each and everyone of their products. I really felt as though the owners not only made a product that puts that energy into the world but live theirs lives that way and truly care about everyone around them. When I am out in my daily life and mention I work with Dogeared the response is always "Oh I love that company" and I follow it with just how amazing I think it is as well. From getting days off to volunteer, to company days where we get the chance to make a difference in other people's lives to Christmas parties where they spoil us, it really is a great place to work.
Cons
No company is perfect and Dogeared has definitely gone through a lot over the last couple of years (when you grow as fast as they have, there is bound to be some restructuring you have to make). And yes, that includes some jobs being eliminated, super tough decisions having to be made but the owners have handled it with grace and dignity, but I know it has been very tough for some as well as the owners themselves.
