Pros

Some genuinely talented sales and support employees doing their best despite chaos

Cons

This division operates like a case study in how not to manage people. Behind the polished brand and corporate slogans lies a culture of confusion, coercion, and performative leadership. Data without integrity. Leadership frequently weaponizes flawed reporting systems to justify predetermined outcomes. Metrics are manipulated, dashboards misconfigured, and when inconsistencies are raised, the response isn’t correction — it’s punishment. Retaliatory management patterns. Constructive feedback and transparency are treated as insubordination. The moment you question pay accuracy, policy contradictions, or ethical concerns, you’re quietly moved from “valued contributor” to “problem employee.” A culture of manufactured pressure. Arbitrary “activity minimums,” surveillance-style meetings and micromanagement, and public compliance sessions replace real coaching. Initiative is discouraged; conformity is rewarded. Disorganization at scale. Inter-departmental breakdowns are constant; sales, merchants, operations, and finance contradict one another daily, yet accountability never travels upward. Employees absorb the fallout of leadership’s own missteps. Erosion of trust. Policies change without notice, promises are walked back, and internal miscommunications are spun as employee failures. It’s an environment where you document everything not for collaboration, but for self-protection.

It can always get worse

Pros

Novel experience with vintage mainframe and a variety of camera equipment; no outside distractions from social media

Cons

The whole company is showing signs of collapse and this pressure to squeeze out profits continues to fall on the middle management and is passed onto indexing staff, even when the companies woes have nothing to do with the indexing department. Management lays off seemingly its best employees often due to pettiness, and the rest of us are left wondering who's next. Meanwhile every day is the same and something advertised as a haven for creators turns out to be a living hell. The once open workspace is plagued by hundreds of security cameras and threats to anyone who leaves their desk for more than a few minutes. Microsoft teams, and most of the internet are inaccessible, and even spotify feels like a dwindling privilege.

Rat feces

Pros

There are no benefits of working with this company unless you're a member of their biological family, who they favor (and thats nice but) at the expense of all their other employees.

Cons

You are constantly treated like a child. They have demonstrated over and over that they don't trust their employees and treat them all like criminals. They don't give anyone enough of a break to eat a meal, so everyone eats at their station and the company is too cheap to hire a custodial staff. Food is left everywhere. Rats find and eat all the food and replace it with feces. There is rat poop LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. These people are dirty physically and morally. They lie about the job description and will put in a position you didn't apply for with less pay than discussed, but they won't tell they're paying you less untill you've already worked a week and discovered it on your check. The entire place is a fire hazard. Locks on every door, thin hallways, overcrowding. NOBODY TRUSTS ANYBODY AND ITS EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. The level of backstabbing at this company is the worst I've ever seen. They say "were a diverse company" but 95% of them are observant Ashkenazi Jews.
