Pros

As the title suggests, this is a great place to work for a family (Feldenkreis) that couldn't care less about their employees, product quality, or corporate atmosphere. Everyone from the directors to the interns feel the dread when working here so at least you can commiserate with absolutely everyone. But do you want to work in a place like that?

Cons

Distrust of employees from the start (they must have been screwed over before because the level of distrust is extreme), extremely underqualified friends and family (Feldenkreis) members are put in high level positions which makes working here look like a day at the DMV, stingy benefits (I have many stories of how they have tried to get out of paying health benefits from their amazing FLORIDA based health insurance, FLORIDA based, absolute lack of quality in fabrics and factories (they have some tie with factories in China that are great at looking at your designs and deciding to send their own designs), absolutely zero brand integrity, etc, etc, etc.

Pros

Not really anything positive about working for this company.

Cons

Lots of back stabbing and no team effort. Everyone out for themselves.. CEO is all about himself, egotistical and EVERYTHING has to go through him. Loves to hear himself talk, thinks he knows everything, thinks he’s a “visionary”. Place is run by fear, lots of yelling and degrading. No loyalty or employee appreciation. Will drop you without warning, Bonus is non existent and at CEO discretion, even if you have it stated in your employment agreement Benefits are horrible and very expensive. Stay away from this place

A tough place to work

Pros

Most of the worker bees are great. If you get the opportunity to prove yourself, you can go a long way.

Cons

Management rules by fear and sets unrealistic expectations for goals. Don't expect to make a bonus here- it rarely happens. Moral is terrible and it makes for a stressful working environment.
