Pros
• Wonderful heritage brand with a rich, interesting history and beloved fans • The chance to work with a few very smart, passionate, hard-working and kind people
Cons
• Insane bureaucracy and politics, impossible to communicate efficiently, esp. with upper management and leadership. Definite corporate hierarchy and egos. * Polarizing views on "what the brand is." • At-times hostile work environment, lots of unhappy/burnt out/uninformed employees and pushy people overstepping their roles and responsibilities when they should be focusing on being great at their jobs. • Little to no support from upper management when roles are eliminated or people leave (and their positions are not filled). This leads to poor work-life balance and morale slump. • Little room for growth. Promotions are few and far between, sometimes seem random and can take years to happen. • Lack of transparency or illusion of it. We're asked to trust the company, but, does it really deserve our trust? • Re-orgs! Lots of them!
