Pros

the best part about working at Onia was quitting. The office is nice though!

Cons

PLEASE NOTE: I told the recruiter that placed me at Onia all of the below info, and that agency no longer works with this company. Aside from the office, everything else about Onia is terrible. I saw some of these bad reviews back before I started working there and while it was a little unsettling, I ultimately thought that I had worked in this industry a long time and it couldn't be THAT bad. It really is that bad. The culture is toxic- There's a good chance that Management will throw you under the bus for something out of your control. In an effort to save their own jobs and survive, coworkers will likely turn on you and you're done. I saw this happen a few times during my time there. Management is extremely abusive, vindictive, and cruel. They are bullies and their behavior on numerous occasions was disgusting. Literally bad mouthing or screaming at/belittling employees in front of the entire office and worse. Often instead of firing, the co-founders would harass and verbally abuse people until they quit so they didn't have to pay severance. I wish I had recordings- the place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You are disposable- Every second of every day your job is on the chopping block. Most days someone is fired and another poor soul is hired.. and I wish that was not an exaggeration. You'll be doing +12hr days, every day and that still won't be enough. Compensation isn't great and the benefits are lousy. Ultimately- if you are not fired, you will want to quit. If you're considering working here- just don't... yikes.

Pros

Staff is nice. Wear whatever you want. That's really it.

Cons

Well, zero incentives. ZERO. co founders think they know EVERYTHING so not sure why they even have a staff to begin with. They are RUDE and unprofessional to literally everyone including the FedEx delivery guys. The list of cons is so long I'm not even sure it's worth me wasting the time to write them all out. These people are USERS they use you up and spit you out and 90% of the time they think you don't know how to do your job anyway. They are two spoiled brats who think they know what they are doing and how to run a business but if you pay attention you will see the majority of their business is in off price stores and places like TJ Maxx. they will literally turn on you within a 24 hour period. Just ask anyone who has ever done business with them in any capacity. This place is a crap hole and I cannot wait to get out!

Pros

big pretty office near Bryant Park

Cons

Really shady tactics to get an employee. Starts out by offering things and then slowly taking each away with lame and vague excuses. They were so vague and dodgy whenever wages and benefits came up. I was supposed to start tomorrow. The job offer was withdrawn because I tried to negotiate for a rate that is at minimum wage or a little over, as we agreed during the interviews. They said they could only do $10/hr. They also started changing my position title in emails from Assistant Print Designer down to Intern! Minimum wage in NYC for a company of this size is $15/hr! They're trying to skirt around the law by calling these positions internships. I was willing to try and give it my all despite these reviews but it's apparent I dodged a bullet. I also wouldn't be surprised if the work I did for their applicant project will end up being used in later collections. Maybe they just conduct these interviews to get free designs. Wouldn't be a stretch with the behavior I've witnessed so far...
