Pros

Corporate office conveniently located in Downtown Los Angeles

Cons

Too much emphasis is placed on employee loyalty to management, independent thinking is often discouraged, instead employees are bullied into falling in line. Often, there seems to be no logic to decisions other than whim of a manager. This creates a culture of fear and opaqueness, and discourages employees from speaking up when they see something wrong or feel something could be done better. Why is Paul Marciano back? Was the FCC filing regarding Paul's departure and the settlement with 5 of his accusers of sexual abuse a lie to stabilize the stock price? This culture of loyalty to–and fear of–Paul Marciano trickles down through out the company and creates a toxic work environment. The company is in desperate need of qualified, highly skilled professionals, but instead is permeated by legacy employees with little qualifications for outsized positions, other than their apparent loyalty to Paul Marciano and certain managers. This dinosaur of a company is going extinct.

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.
