Pros

The only thing really going for this company is its people. Most of them are nice, genuine, dedicated, and hard-working people that didn't deserve the treatment they got from the previous leadership team. They might actually make it work if they focus on improvements in the right areas.

Cons

The board of directors has released 90% of the executive leadership team since September 2016. All the perks associated to working here have been taken away - including breakfast and lunch, espresso drinks, personal training, and most everything else. Most of the chefs, baristas, marketing dept, boutique staff, and coordinators of joy have all been let go. Suspect that most of the IT, software development, and delivery/install will be next, probably subject to outsourcing. They are heavily restructuring the organization and not backfilling most operations positions as they are evacuated. Lots of talk about switching ERP systems from MS Dynamics to Salesforce.com or NetSuite. Wide variations in salaries between staff with same titles. Previous leadership team essentially squandered $160M+ in venture capital making horrible management decisions, focusing on premature expansion, hiring new executives with outlandish salaries, with heavy bias towards sales and marketing while letting Operations and IT suffer with underfunding, under-appreciation, lack of clear direction/vision/goals, and inefficient processes.

Has potential with the right people in places

Cons

But in reality, they have the wrong people in all places and continue to threw money in a failing operational structure.

Pros

Beautiful place to work at and as long you follow the rules, it is easy work.

Cons

The theory was beautiful although the everyday practice was different, now the even the idea is gone. If you did not belong to the boy's club wearing checkered shirts and a beard, good luck, they will put you down and harass you. As a result, people fend for themselves and do not stand up for others, fearing retaliation.
