Pros

• Most of the people you work with are nice. • Most teams work on interesting projects! • The office area is nice, considering the building is inside of a warehouse. Be prepared to hear lots of beeping and forklift sounds!

Cons

• Some teams are better than others. Mine was a fantastic team until we got a new lead. • Leadership tends to bully one person on the team in order to have documented coaching. There’s always one - pray it’s not you. • It is a revolving door for designers, and you will have the light in your soul sucked out if you work too hard. Don’t work hard enough? Documented coaching. • They only tend to hire brand new, fresh out of college designers, since they’re the ones who don’t know better. They spend a LOT of time and money going to colleges to recruit. • You are just a number to them, and they will not care if you’re unhappy. Prepare to feel very micromanaged on everything you do. • You will not have as much creative freedom as they let on in the beginning. Buyers/clients already know what they want, and you need to do exactly that. Creative people/those who love to illustrate will NOT succeed here.

Pros

I was pleasantly surprised with how supportive, energetic, and fun the Creative Department was. I worked there for 6 years and learned a ton in the writing team.

Cons

The infrastructure and rules (at least at the time) were quite strict. We got pinged and noted if we were even one minute late to clock in. PTO was restricted and very closely monitored, even though I was hardly ever busy enough to fill 40 hours a week.
