Pros

Base comp for leadership roles was decent. Product and concept are good.

Cons

Leadership by fear and excessively punitive coaching methods. Political, toxic, petty, drama-ridden environment. Profit was king. Bonuses were made impossible to hit. Zero W/L balance. Insane amounts of turnover...and they wonder why... Colorists and GM's get little support staff, poorly managed tech and often go without breaks, meals, time off. Hide poor work environment and lack of balance behind redundant "town hall pep rally's" with CEO, telling everyone how much she cares about them; constant flow of MR swag, and junk food. Rules only apply based on who's ego you feed. Upper leadership have personal relationships that create major conflicts of interest. Goal to get to IPO is the only thing that matters.

Pros

You gain corporate knowledge, and have the chance to learn new things.

Cons

They mis classify you, so your deductions are higher. They raise your monthly goals based on one good month and it’s never enough, with what you bring. Ignore rules for some, don’t share information with their regionals like asked. Yet, you get treated like garbage if you speak to anyone outside your DM. And, acts like dm is in your corner yet failed to handle a problem employee for a very long time. With plenty of evidence. It affects their bonus!! They don’t care as long as they are producing.
