Pros

Company is doing well financially, bonuses can be fairly good. As long as you're not on the Marketing team, you'll probably like it there.

Cons

The owner Tom Dickson has a strong dislike for anything marketing related. If sales go up he believes it's the Sales Department and nothing to do with the Marketing team. He distrusts marketing so much that he replaces marketing directors and marketing teams on a yearly basis. If you're looking for a marketing job, don't look here. This includes the creative team. There's little direction and leadership on the creative team and because the environment is so toxic within marketing, there's little room for actual creativity.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at this company. My team was great and the management was really personable. Employees were recognized for their contributions. Part-time hours were very flexible for students.

Cons

Pay wasn't super impressive. More structure for interns would've been great. Chill can be good but there were times that it was too chill.

Pros

The team was very supportive, both professionally and personally. They offered great flexibility, especially for parents with children, which made it easier to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Management showed understanding and compassion when it came to family responsibilities or personal development goals, making the workplace feel more inclusive and accommodating.

Cons

At times, there appeared to be a lack of professionalism in certain areas. This could include inconsistent communication, unclear expectations, or an informal approach to work protocols. While the environment was friendly, it sometimes came at the expense of structure and accountability.
