Pros

Early afternoon Fridays due to the Jewish Sabbathh Discount on items sold on the website

Cons

- There is no opportunity for advancement unless you are part of their religious group. - Nepotism is rampant within the company (at least when I was there). The company favors its own religious people over secular employees who work there. I saw many older individuals sleeping at their desks, yet management would only comment with something like "Oh, he's old, just let him sleep." Meanwhile, they expect the secular employees to perform with higher output levels consistently. The holidays are skewed in favor of Jewish holidays only so if you want to go away for Christmas, they couldn't care less. You have to adapt to their religious holidays calendar.

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.
