Pros

This used to be a fun atmosphere, people collaborated and worked very hard to drive growth in a competitive market. Leadership was pretty good and you had fun and enjoyed your co-workers.

Cons

The "global" CFO and the "yeller" are quickly showing how not to run a business. The Rubie's owners should come in and bring new people to help this business before it's simply a barren warehouse. To recap: 100% of executives have willingly left to escape their overbearing, inexperienced decision-making. The crew they have inserted occasionally has zero experience in running an e-commerce business and is more concerned with people being in the office for X hours every day than making the correct decisions that will grow the business. They are also failing miserably in understanding how to market and brand items and to sell via third-party sites, and have let people go who are very experienced in that because they "make too much money". Despite those people's salaries, they are making you millions, but you're too blind to see past your spreadsheet (that measures the wrong metrics) to understand that, moreless the nuances of the e-commerce world. Nevermind that many people work while at home also before/after traditional working hours and are salaried, so you're not being stolen from by people working less than 40 hours--it's the opposite. They nickel and dime things to death, making working here significantly painful, and for no financial gain really. I was happy to escape this Titanic shortly after they acquired BuySeasons. I quickly saw the mess they were creating so I bolted. Zero morale here, and I feel that those who stay are suffering from PTSD from the constant barrage of demands that are nearly impossible to meet. Longtime employees are fleeing in droves, leaving inexperienced others to try to find their way through the mess being created. I pity them.

Pros

If you like working in a toxic workplace. This would be a pro for you.

Cons

The management team are horrible. They have poor communication skills with the employees and within themselves. The management team will have favoritism towards towards certain demographic groups of people and treat everyone else like crap. They will also fire people for no reason and lie about why they fire them. Hopefully things have changed since they wrongfully fired me but I’ve doubt it.
