Pros

One good thing about the company were the amazing people you met and worked with. This one positive aspect is destroyed, though, because employees are constantly getting fired. The main product (Fleshlight) is popular and essentially sells itself, but if the public knew how the company operates (sexual harassment, payouts to employees so they won't publicly sue the CEO, horrible demeanor to women), etc. this company would fail.

Cons

•There is no clear direction of where the company wants to go. Because of this, the upper management (CEO) constantly changes his mind and will fire entire teams to justify his new direction. I worked at the company and saw over 25 people get fired. This, in itself, proves that this company is very difficult to work for. Despite individual's talents, they can still get fired all because the management has no sense of direction. •No room for growth. Because of the constant chaos and confusion, it's difficult to grow with the company. •There is absolutely no structure at this company. Most employees don't last for a year, but an annual review to know employees strengths/weaknesses would do wonders at Interactive Life Forms. •Poor culture and values. Employers these days want to make sure their employees are as happy as possible by offering sick time, vacation time, etc. This company is completely opposite and when a day is taken off by an employee, they are publicly berated by upper management. Mandatory holiday work (if you were planning on visiting Family for Thanksgiving or Christmas, you can forget about it if you work at Fleshlight).

Pros

Very good compensation both in salary & benefits. Fun, politically incorrect work environment that feels more like a boys club than a job. An environment where "NSFW" (not safe for work) websites are things like google news, porn browsing on breaks is almost encouraged.

Cons

Utter and total lack of management with more between their ears than pocket lint. Management changes occur for no reason and are almost always a total disaster. For example, the director of marketing was fired and then replaced with a girl who does makeup for photo shoots. A director of marketing at a multi million dollar company who's only credentials are "does makeup". Mind blowing. In addition, there is an almost constant cloud of fear in the air. You can and will be fired for no reason whatsoever. You could generate millions of dollars for the company through your efforts and you will still be fired for no reason whatsoever. Bottom line is that if the product did not sell itself, this company would have gone under years ago.
