Cons

Passive aggressive, back-stabbing culture - very fake people Highly competitive to a fault Very cliquey - focused on what ivy league you attended No stability - in the over three years I have worked there it is a revolving door of people leaving No work life balance Management is arrogant and reactive

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
