Pros
Monthly lunches are a plus. Certain departments were very pleasant to work with, such as Marketing/content, EComm, UX/UI, Product Dev, Merch.
Cons
To start off, the company claims to be hybrid. However, the first 30 days required in-office attendance (not communicated until the first day). Throughout my time, the requirement to come into the office ranged from once or twice a month, in addition to the three required days. So if you are open to last-minute demands to be in office, this could be for you. Secondly, communication is a HUGE issue. It would often feel like no one in management roles we’re communicating, which caused lack of direction on initiatives and last-minute changes to major projects. Changes to meetings and the lack of respect for your time were also huge issues. The demand to be in office seemed to only be required for the ground workers, but not the CEO or select upper management. Lastly, direction of initiatives/how to grow is so muddied with lack of consistent ideation. One week, the goal could be X, by Wednesday it could be Y, and Saturday morning it’s Z. The “pivoting” of direction caused the inability to see positive results. And because of this swinging door of opinions and direction, upper management questioned the lack of improvements. Morale definitely felt like it was at an all-time low, which makes it nearly impossible to feel the comradery.
