Pros

Good discount on the product.

Cons

Failing business. No designer. No brand identity. A lot of uncertainty and constant changes. False promises of promotions. Many left or were fired and never replaced, adding more roles and bigger pressure on remaining employees. I worked weekends with no overtime pay or comp days. Most divisions are stretched so thin that there is no coverage when you are out sick or on vacation so you end up bringing your laptop to the beach (or just not taking any trips since you won't be making much here).

Pros

Very creative and hands on environment. Can own design process from beginning to end and be involved in all aspects of line creation. Very collaborative.

Cons

Poorly managed by parent company. Lack of funding and profit leads to layoffs and no career growth.
