Pros

The view is absolutely beautiful.

Cons

I'm writing this because I know all of the positive reviews have been posted by the owner to try and boost her own rating. Fabrique was by far the worst place I have worked in the 20+ years of my career, and the only job I've ever left without notice. The owner is a mean, conniving, two-faced liar who constantly belittles her employees and blames them for her mistakes or her lack of information. I've never seen anyone micromanage their employees to the degree that Francine does and it is the most hostile work environment, meaning she literally throws things at her employees. She couldn't figure out how to adjust the seat in her car so she called a company meeting so everyone could see how to adjust the seat. There are two buildings so employees had to stop what they were doing to drive over and watch her move the seat forward. She sends people on wild goose chases, looking for information she knows herself. She is extremely inappropriate, making racist remarks and doing things like changing her clothes and going to the bathroom in front of employees. She hires people who are in the US on Visas, promising them she'll sponsor them, then tells them she's not going to pay the sponsorship fees and that they can leave. The only thing I did learn is that you can buy anything... your "friends", the media articles that feature you, better care from the doctors that treat you... all you have to sacrifice is your dignity.

Pros

Fabrique is a leading supplier of technology cases and accessories due to the leadership and sustained management of the President of the company. I have recently retired and had the pleasure of working at Fabrique for 37 years as Project Director of our key accounts. I have continued my valued relationship with the President of the company as well as with all current employees and many past employees. Fabrique fosters close relationships. There are several long term employees in addition to myself ranging from new hires 1-2 years ago to others that have been with the company 10 - 13 years. Opportunities at Fabrique are extensive, whether you are learning new skills or honing old ones: International relations on a daily basis with China, Taiwan, Latin America, Czech Republic, Singapore and many other countries. Domestic and international relations with technology industry leaders such as HP, Dell, Ingram Micro, Kensington, Belkin and Logitech. The office settings are unique and beautiful. The President of the company also provides coffee and healthy snacks, weekly breakfasts during the Global meeting, many lunches - often cooked and prepared personally and unrivaled holiday celebrations. I do not know of an employee who has ever left without acknowledging how much they have learned, directly from the President of the company. The CEO fosters strength and independence in those who are open to learn and become leaders. Many today are in leadership roles and some are just not ready.

Cons

Parking during bad weather at one location is a challenge, but there are alternatives.
