Pros

Excellent product quality, great niche market and the clothing and hats are better than the competing products. The company is in a really good location in West End and their goal is altruistic in that their products are virtually saving lives.

Cons

The CEO is uncontrolled and throws regular toddler-esque-type temper tantrums. Her archaic, abusive, and irrational methods of management have poisoned the work culture at this company. Many, and perhaps all, of the employees hold great contempt for her but are too fearful of losing their jobs to admit it. Right now there is no good reason to seek a job there.

Pros

Honestly not many pros come to mind

Cons

Where to begin. The chief brand officer is not bright and terrible at his job. HR is a one woman show who also runs the customer care department with no certification. The girls spend most of their time talking about their co workers and complaining. If you try to just stay quiet and not suck up to the chiefs you get fired. The “leadership” is a bad joke. You have maybe 2 people that come from apparel and they are treated like they don’t know what they are doing. It’s like working in the twilight zone. The direction changes every other month. It’s traumatic and abusive and one of these days they will get sued. The chief expects you to attend his little events that just waste money on the weekends and if you don’t want to go you are punished/let go. They love to play the blame game but in reality the chief Sebastian is running the company into the ground and quickly.
