Pros

The pay is good, the people I work with on a daily basis are phenomenal. The CEO doesn't seem to understand that if cuts need to be made to payroll for looking good on an IPO, that the managers would have probably made wise choices. I had good managers.

Cons

The CEO and corporate logic on handling things. If you're making drastic changes right before an IPO and decide to cut members of your online production and copy departments, don't be surprised when your website looks poor in one month because your workers have been overburdened. Why cut 500 jobs if you're going to have to hire more workers back in a month, retrain and spend just as much if not more on payroll? Why not just be honest on paper for the IPO?

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
