Pros

people (for the most part) onsite gym decent pay for LA standard better than Forever 21 better than BCBG allegedly

Cons

no sense of clear strategy or direction politics politics politics senior management too busy at job security > finger pointing in all directions vs taking any accountability no follow thru on any plan lack of talent or relevant experience at the top; lack of training / bench strength at the bottom insecurities run rampant at management level very little empowerment even less thinking for yourself... either no process or process over progress silly rules that treat all like you're in labor camp

Pros

Great building, professional people, great offices.

Cons

Must be on time; it is very strict. Click girls' high school environment: if you are new, no one cares for you to guide you. They dump their work onto you, and since you are new, there is nothing one can say. Mid-level managers act as if they own the place. If you want to work there, make sure to be prepared to be alone for a long time; no real sense of team, just a worker environment clocking in to get in and out. No real training just swim or drown approach.
