Pros

Sports culture - doing sports is encouraged and sometimes team activities are sports-based Employee discount and gift card for staff People from other departments are nice. Interns tend to work together as well and fun bunch to be with

Cons

Retail staff not felt as part of the office staff. Sometimes there's animosity from retail staff when getting them to do things. Marketing team is run by people who have been in the company for 10 years and people who do not know about Marketing .There's the lack of proper leadership because the marketing management does not have marketing background and keeps pushing what he thinks is right. Fake listening to employees and then will start to push his own ideas onto you. Not a good feeling. Sometimes will see teammates get discouraged. Since then, 4 people have left since January 2019. Marketing managers are now inexperienced people who are too young to lead a team.
