Pros

They have great sample sales to employees and decent benefits - although benefits had declined in the timespan I was there. There are some great people there as well.

Cons

There is no room for movement and there are a lot of politics. Reminded me much of high school clicks and fighting to be in the "in" crowd. They don't recognize hard work and most of the time if you do well the credit is given to those higher up in the political chain. If you have a young family you won't see them often due to the "required overtime" and they are not flexible with sick kids. Sad for a "children's" company. People are disposable.

Pros

Discount. Fun & lively environment. Fast paced.

Cons

Freight overload. This can make job extremely stressful, and tough to problem solve.
