Pros

No onboarding. Manager and director were not present for first day. I was given generations old equipment and had to request modernized monitors. I spent two days walking the store by myself the first week. Nobody was there to even show me around then. I was working upstairs, trying to learn the way the store worked.

Cons

Everything was confrontational. The entire time, they were gaslighting me into producing code not mentioned in my resume. Submitting incorrect assets and arguing for immediate turnaround. Or unable to describe the way the marketing strategy worked at all. They also tried to gaslight me for design work. On multiple occasions I was asked to create new creative designs when the only thing that mentioned creative arts was my degree. I have almost 10 years experience in tech. What they failed to realize was that the way a dev uses Photoshop is entirely different than the way a designer would. All this, After shorting the offer 10 grand.

Pros

It was an incredible, one of a kind place to work at prior to the hiring of the current CEO Menashe Horowitz.

Cons

Summary of Company Grievances ​The current leadership has shifted the company toward an authoritarian management style, characterized by a steady decline in employee benefits and compensation. Salary increases are negligible and fail to keep pace with inflation, leaving wages well below market standards. ​Key issues within the organization include: ​Leadership and Culture: CEO Menashe Horowitz is perceived as unreceptive to feedback, surrounding himself with inexperienced "yes-men." This has created an environment lacking genuine leadership. ​Work-Life Balance: Flexibility has been severely curtailed, including the elimination of remote-work Fridays. Furthermore, the company remains open on all U.S. federal holidays but closes for Jewish holidays, forcing employees to use their own paid time off (PTO) during those closures to avoid losing pay. ​Recruitment Challenges: Due to a wealth of negative reviews on platforms like Glassdoor, the company is struggling to attract qualified talent. ​Business Ethics: Management's operational practices are reportedly dishonest, utilizing aggressive "strong-arm" tactics with external vendors despite publicly claiming a commitment to transparency. ​Conclusion: While there was once a strong fondness for the company, its recent downward trajectory, stagnant wages, and poor treatment of staff indicate that it is no longer a viable place to work, making it time for employees to move on.
