Pros

Lots of flexibility, good benefits, and a management group that does want to be honest and transparent. There are lots of good people, which is why the company still exists today.

Cons

Unclear direction. The company became profitable by basically being an inexpensive online marketplace for nutritional supplements, and that role is being overtaken by Amazon, rapidly. The way the company operates today needs to change dramatically, but I've seen no indication that management has much of a plan, other than "hey, maybe we'll try to do things differently". Exactly how, well, doesn't seem to be getting much convergence anywhere, and a direction has been needed for a while. There will be a ton of pain in the future as the revenue and profits for the existing business will continue to fade. The culture has also become a bit of a sad state of affairs. After a round of layoffs and a CEO that seemed to rub people the wrong way, there's definitely a "shut up and plug away" culture that most people just seem to have adapted to. Changing this culture will be a major task.
