Pros

- Pretty much everyone at the brand is very nice to hang with. - Almost everyone you work with has a passion for the company and/or boardsports.

Cons

- A revolving door of interns who are never hired - Lack of room for advancement in any role. - Don't be surprised if the ball gets dropped on any project you have put weeks of work into and you never hear about it again. This is a constant and there are no processes to make sure staff are delivering on their roles. - There is a really bad expense culture. I guess this covers the non-existant pay increases. - No one ever gets a pay rise...but they do get more jobs thrown on them. - You are expected to feel lucky to be working for the brand and part of the "family". - ...but then, it is very cut throat in terms of lay-offs. Don't expect job security. It is a family until they say so.
