Pros

If you can stand being humiliated, demeaned, and constantly stressed, you actually can build your resume out with a position here, thanks largely to the fact you can put Nike Golf Accessories on it. Those 3 words are the only pros of working for this company.

Cons

Do not be fooled, this lifestyle brand is run from hell! The CEO Cannot keep his direction focused long enough for anything to work. One day it's left, the next it's right, the next it's up, the next it is down. He will not listen to ANYONE that tells him that he is running this company into the ground. His children do not understand how effective businesses are run and chaos insues. Rather than hiring incredible talent, paying them a liveable and competitive wage, they spend millions dollars opening stores across the county which yield little return. This ensures that they stay deeply in the red. This company is funded largely because their parent company Spirit Leatherworks (SLW) is a liscensee of Nike. Even with the name recognition of the number one brand in the country they still can't get anything right: -There are no standard procedures in place. -They change constantly. -They have HIGH turn over, people are there one day and gone the next. -They have virtually ZERO sales representatives. -They will never pay you a salary that will allow you to live with anyone besides your parents -They refuse technological advances. Rather than upgrading their ERP systems to make life easier, they stay in the stone ages. They would rather line their own pockets than invest back into the company. -Anything that benefits the employees and development of the company will never be approved. Executive Management earns top tier salaries and everyone else lives in poverty.

Pros

This environment, which apparently seems chaotic to others, is creative and unstuck to me. If you are of a unidirectional mindset this ain't the place for you. Everyone's ideas are considered and the company is always on a trajectory to grow.

Cons

There are some staff members who could relax a bit.

Pros

Getting more than half off of leather products!

Cons

Run by the owners kids mostly, uppity, selfish, entitled and unorganized. Got rid of most employees that had been there for many years, just to hire other employees in their place, more than likely, paying them less money as well. Retail stores going out of business.
