Pros

Super laid-back work environment. Adult industry means socially liberal atmosphere. Approachable executives and no micromanagement to speak of. Consistent, very reasonable schedule. Leadership takes genuine interest in employee development.

Cons

While the sales, marketing, and graphic design games are on-point, the operational and technical capabilities are far from state of the art, and improvements are only reactive, never proactive. Executive management means well but seems to rely on poor technical advice. Scientific foundations of products are critically neglected; no meaningful product development process (scale-up or pilot batches) prior to launches, and specifications are weakly established and poorly controlled. Real commitment to quality system is left wanting; the grandiloquent quality policy is posted everywhere, but that doesn't mean QA/QC is truly empowered or properly equipped to catch the types of actual problems for which the products are at risk. Non-conformities and product defects are rarely investigated to a solvable root cause. Watched several higher-level subject matter experts leave with no comparable replacements; duties and responsibilities were generally rolled onto other positions and/or assigned to largely unqualified individuals. Low-key collective panic every time an audit rolled around, followed by cocksure self-congratulation for barely scraping over the bar.

Pros

Good hard working employees trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Cons

Bad place to work in! Owner is constantly putting his employees down and does not feel they deserve to be compensated. He is very deeming and arrogant, definitely dislikes women. His main focus is who can he fire today. Very stressful environment, would not recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy. No benefits – you get 2 weeks a year and that includes sick days. So the only way to get a day off is to call in sick, otherwise you have to wait a year to take any time off. They do not have an HR Department, so there is no one to help you with any issues. They say they provide health insurance, but your portion is very high, so if you can’t afford it you won’t have insurance. There are no benefits! And the two managers he has are so stressed out, they do not function well. No communication! Not one employee that works there feels secured with their job. In the short time I was there, at the very least 10 employees quit – that’s just in a few months. Don’t work there, unless you want to be miserable and unappreciated!
