Pros

I guess work-life balance is awesome because people just come and go as they please, coming in at 9:30 am and leaving at 3, with a 2 hour lunch break. Most circuses charge for admission, this one lets you in for free! You probably won't get AIDS from working here? Umm, is that enough positive? Because this place is a train wreck...

Cons

I'd liken HAAN to Detroit: once a good place, on the rise, full of potential and boundless future... but then it crashed. All the good people left. It's near bankruptcy. It shrinks year by year. The world would be a better place if it never even existed. Also, you run the risk of getting shot since the office is just that tense, there's always a potential that someone is going to snap and start blasting. All joking aside, this company is just absolutely terrible. Everyone has a chip on their shoulder about something. Useless schmucks who are good at kissing up step over everyone in their department, 3PL logistics constantly screws things up for the company, software used is laughable, sales people are promised commissions that are never paid, accounting department is faced with books that just won't balance. I feel the worst for management who are charged with sailing a leaky ship. They're stuck working through the troughs of BS this company has built up over the years. The problem is the ownership. The ownership lacks intelligence, scruples, ethics, people-sense, business-sense, or any traits a decent human being should have. There's a streak of pure evil at the top of this place. Worst part is, ownership is delusioned into imagining themselves the CEO's of a huge fortune 500 company when really they're no more influential than a prison warden (of a prison anyone with intelligence escapes). The massive turnover, shrinking sales, poor morale, poor profitability, and inevitable demise are all the result of the ownership. They once hired skilled people who gained them big accounts, but have since ruined every one of those accounts. This, again, is the result of ownership who doesn't know how to run a company.

Pros

A lot of meetings were held so I could present my ideas for improvement and the overall betterment of the Haan website and their design and their SEO. The major variances in web traffic every week demonstrated the potential to tap into the vast SEO resources I accumulated during my long career. There was a distinct lack of null search terms from our Bing indexing during my tenure at Haan. What does this mean? It means there's a lot of potential to create SEO optimization and maximize profits with the purchase of just a few simple software programs and website design tweaks and redesigns.

Cons

Management frequently closes their door when they see you coming. Despite my excellent, and well informed knowledge i attained in my years of experience in the field of SEO and Digital Marketing and Branding and Design my advice was never heeded or listened to. Branding is insufficient and despite the vast wealth of resources given to every employee No one understands how to properly align a brand while maximizing marketing costs and indexing on Google. Office is hostile towards people with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ who have found enlightenment and salvation through Him. Management are frequently in meetings when you need to speak to them about digital indexing and get upset when you interrupt. The printer would never print my excel docs as they were on the computer.
