Pros

None, zero, zip, nada, below zero, get the idea?

Cons

The company is owned by the 1%. It's one of their smallest holdings. Seven years ago, they hired a salesman/lawyer from a competitor who had a non-compete contract. After they settled in court, we learned that the salesman (now president) had promised to double the revenue of the company in 5 years. Five years later, revenue is flat and expenses are up. Instead of opening markets in Asia, they have been trying to open markets in Europe. Nambe does not make any "have to have" products. They make "Danish modern" items, some of which are quite beautiful. Alas, Europe already has a Danish modern producer, namely, the country Denmark. So they have resorted to firings. Employees with 20+ years of service have been fired. At last count, they have cut approximately 20% of staff. If you need a job and this is the only one in the offing, take it but keep looking. You won't be there long.

Pros

Wonderful product, ability to meet new people and share product knowledge & company history. Stores located in scenic locations. Most stores do not have typical mall hours, allowing for better life/work balance.

Cons

Extremely low compensation rates, despite qualifications and previous experience applicants may bring to the company. Unorganized central office, poor support of stores from central office. Middle management support is lacking in true leadership providing no coaching or mentoring - only problem identification with no focus on employee growth and development. Lack of opportunity for growth, raises decided from corporate board members not on employee's positive performance measures. Overall, company provides little to maintain quality employee.
