Pros

The environment was friendly and upbeat. The job was fun and I enjoyed what I did.

Cons

I was working for them at a time of major change as the company took on a new CEO. Their direction and tactics were constantly shifting as they tried to introduce new product. So much in fact, that by the time the designers and in-home designers started to implement what they were just trained on, we would need be addressed with new information or changes to what they had just released. I had worked with them for three total years, and the final year was when I started to feel the weight of the issues.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
