Pros

Store discount is pretty nice at 40%

Cons

The CEO is greedy, manipulative and has an unrealistic outlook on "work ethic". His idea of work ethic is working 60-80hr weeks including weekends and making minimum wage because its a "team effort". There are no bonus opportunities for full-time employees. You will be hired for 1 job and asked to work 3 (without compensation) The company is severely understaffed and severely corrupt. You are expected to consider "living at the beach" as a job perk. CEO is verbally abusive, condescending, RUDE and a hands off micromanager. The marketing department was/is overworked and criminally underpaid. This company is trying to do too much with too little. They additionally have a very poor community culture. The do nothing to incentivize their employees to stay, they treat everyone as replaceable because that is the trend in their company and they know they can convince and eager college student or recent graduate to take an underpaid job because living at the beach is cool. THE RATS AND MICE IN THE OFFICES!!!! The 5star ratings of this company are (unpaid) fake from HR employees and the CEO's wife.
