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

A lot of experience in the pressurized, competitive, environment. Which is so important. People are kind if you are kind. Colleagues who have been in the job for decades, incredible advice for those wanting to learn.

Cons

Terrible leadership management, no communication, lazy behavior, unorganized, not driven for high quality. Low work ethic. Terrible hours, rare overtime pay - 6 days a week, sometimes 7 in high season.
