Pros

Exposure to a lot of new partnerships, with the hope that one of them will make the company "great again".

Cons

Leadership team... Look each of them up on linkedin. For example: The president, Debbie Propst, was a manager-level at a failing company - Abercrombie, right before joining One Kings Lane. These are the kinds of people running the business. They were promoted too quickly due to high churn and their ability to aggressively attack others behind closed doors, but lack the experience, wisdom, and business acumen to lead a business and ensure its profitability. In fact, they are the sole reason behind its downfall. Nothing will change because this group only hires leaders who are friends of current leaders. They post these roles externally, to be compliant with the law, but hire their friends, continue gossiping and doing as they please.

Pros

Some very creatively talented individuals; inspiring brand DNA

Cons

HR posts fake positive reviews on Glassdoor. senior leadership team removed unlimited PTO and forced everyone to be hourly, installing a tracker software where you are watched and talked to if you work less than 45 hours a week. Senior leadership team is super chaotic and believes in fear based tactics to drive performance. Company is projected to go out of business any day.
