Pros
Free lunch on Friday. Modern office space in downtown Port Chester.
Cons
If you are considering working for The Shade Store at their headquarters, save yourself the agony. This company has the worst work culture you could imagine. The company prides themselves on being a modern work place, but they don't implement any modern elements into their structure. There is absolutely NO work/life balance, you will be treated like property and be expected to work long into the night and weekend. PTO is 10 days (including sick days) but forget wanting to take a day off, you will still be expecting to work on the go regardless of your situation. You could be the best employee, give it 110% 24/7 and management will still find flaws in your work to criticize. There is no recognition given ever. You can and are always expected to do more. The company is essentially a startup, they haven't worked out the kinks in their departments or basic work process. They are growing at an incredibly fast pace, which at first makes it seem like a great company to be a part of. (That's what they try to sell to new employees). However, everyone makes it up as they go, management has no clue how to run the company. Every day involves putting out fires that you have not created. Training is non-existent because no one knows actually knows the policies or processes. There is no mutual respect between employees, all staff members are bitter towards one another. This is probably due to the fact that each employee is so visibly stressed and overwhelmed. This is "Devil Wears Prada" without a Hollywood ending.
