Pros

Some car allowance with a good work phone, and good product. Peer to peer assisting really builds co-worker relationships, and gets rid of having to work with management. Opportunity to make an extra $200 a year through incentives for just doing your job.

Cons

Get ready for surprises after joining. Pressure to sell, fake promises, no in store strategies. Not so much merchandising being done in the stores, you are forced to attempt to place orders every day and tell the stores to put their own product out. You really do feel pressured all the time to sell and that causes the stores to start to not like or trust you. Managers work from home in different cities and do not actually service stores, which leaves them uncoordinated and disorganized.

Ups, Downs & Potential

Pros

Some new energy late in the year; hopefully it stays. Career path seems to be a big deal, which is good. Creative environment, yet messy. A lot of autonomy (which can be bad). Bagels. Free toys and an additional day off because of a Canadian holiday.

Cons

Zero executive management and leadership in the Los Angeles office; Toronto execs come once a month, if that, and stay in meetings then dish out change or orders like a bull in a china shop. Top heavy; many directors and several VP's but no real leader on-site. Seems like accountability is nonexistent and rules & guidelines are ignored, not even broken. Poor communication between management and staff and between colleagues. There is a sense that anyone that's not a Director, is a peon. Accounting is usually always late to pay bills; no on-site accounting or payroll. HR seems disorganized.

Pros

Nice people in general, fairly creative environment

Cons

Super unirganized. The owners take turns running the company, a couple are astute, one is inept.
