Pros

The team (particularly the director level group) was smart and dedicated and the directors saved the company from disaster from as long as they could. The brand was fun, the discounts and sample sales broke up the boredom and it was great working in downtown SF.

Cons

The senior management team (3 different CEOs in a 2 year period) was a disaster = no vision, no leadership and lots and lots of bad decisions along the way doomed this company. There was terrible wasteful spending on IT project that went nowhere, expensive executives came and went with big severances, and the politics killed off many young bright people who went elsewhere.

Pros

Nice people to work with. When there is a holiday there is plenty of overtime. And the bonus is a % of your yearly pay. Management is honest and calls out the slackers instead of trying to sweep them under the rug while other worker harder.

Cons

When there is no holiday it is hard to get a full 40 hours, and sometimes hard to get 30 hours.
