Pros

No pros what so ever.

Cons

The hostile environment combined with the low quality people in corporate makes this a breeding ground for mental illness. No matter how bad your situation it isn't worth it. The products also suck.

Toxic work environment

Pros

We had pizza on Fridays and a pretty good discount. The location is conveniently located on 34th street so it's easy to get to.

Cons

The work environment was toxic. Everybody was out to get you. We were worked to the bone and not compensated appropriately. Everybody was looking to throw their coworkers under the bus. The designers were good but the employees, in general, were not the brightest or well educated.

Nepotism and racism

Pros

There are a few good people in junior positions. Brand recognition on your resume.

Cons

Racist comments from leadership. Preference based if you went to the same camp as leadership. Management team is unexperienced and one of the Directors makes racist comments to people in the team. No room for growth for people unless you're white and went to the same camp. People get hired based on who they know. Not who has the experience.
