Pros

The people that work here are always fun an interesting from different backgrounds and usually really creative

Cons

Very little support, very low wages leading to the expected high turnover rate, making it extremely difficult to build a team. Intentionally understaffed, making it nearly impossible to take a break. The new owners are replacing high quality items with extremely low quality knock offs at a higher price point, squeezing every bit of credibility left in the name. They will not your compensation when minimum wage increases, so newly hired employees make more than the staff that was hired prior to laws changing
