Pros

Hybrid is the only benifit.

Cons

Utterly toxic politics everywhere—supervisors strut around like they're the damn CEO, overriding decisions, playing favorites, and killing any chance of real work getting done. [E.g., "My project got axed because the supervisor's buddy wanted the credit."] HR? A complete joke—they exist only on paper, ignore every email/ticket for weeks (or forever), and sleep through crises like mass resignations. [E.g., "Reported harassment 3 times—no response, just crickets."] Conclusion: What started as a "product-based" company has crashed into a pathetic small-scale garments nightmare: endless delays, zero growth, and employees treated like disposable labor. Run—don't walk—away. Pure regret

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
