Pros

Nice shoes if you can wear them without hurting!

Cons

The work environment often felt toxic and inconsistent. Leadership frequently communicated that they supported and cared about employees, but their actions did not always reflect those statements. There was a noticeable disconnect between the company’s messaging and the day-to-day employee experience. While events for holidays, Pride Month, Valentine’s Day, and other celebrations may be well-intentioned, they did not address the deeper workplace concerns. Employee appreciation should go beyond themed activities or surface-level gestures. Employees want to feel trusted, respected, and treated like professional adults. In my experience, the focus on these types of events felt more like a distraction than genuine support. A truly supportive workplace would prioritize clear communication, accountability, fair treatment, trust, and meaningful action over performative efforts. Until those areas are addressed, the culture can feel more like appearance than substance.

Pros

This is a founder led, family owned business where the culture truly reflects the family’s values. Those values show up in the way most people treat each other - with great care. The brand’s legacy creates a sense of pride, and the company’s small size fosters close working relationships and a feeling of connection for most. Those who are successful here take the time to really know each other, support each other, and feel invested in what we’re building together.

Cons

Success here requires flexibility and adaptability. The environment is dynamic, priorities shift, goals move, and not everything is clearly defined from the start. Because the company is small and family run, the environment is naturally fluid. Priorities evolve so the ability to adapt and flex is the only way to thrive here. Being really comfortable with change (and the lack thereof) and being able to adjust quickly is critical. Interestingly, though, while priorities and goals can shift quickly, many long standing practices remain unchanged. Some processes are still handled the old fashioned way, which can be a source of stress and frustration for people who prefer more modern, highly optimized systems.
