Pros

Good benefits for full-time employees. Depending on the part of the business you're associated with, it can be a fun place to work. The products can be really good, as long as there is proper Quality Control measures and adequate training in place.

Cons

On the manufacturing side, there appears to be a complete disconnect between management and their employees. There appears to be a lot of favoritism and politics within the management ranks. This dissuades and/or prevents those of us who don't wish to take part in such an atmosphere from actually seeking any sort of career growth. The hours are long and tedious with sudden and ridiculous schedule changes, proving there is a complete disregard to work/life balance. While it's expected to work these type of hours during the holiday season, the schedule fluctuates to an extent that completely disrupts any attempts to have this work/life balance.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
