Pros

Stuff looks nice. Products are okay (expensive). Some of the people are terrific.

Cons

I've had enough. For months the little things were, little things. I had a job. They little things added up. I knew something wasn't right. I never really fit in. I wasn't sure why. I thought it was me. Then one Instagram post summed it all up. Keep reading. From perfect models to nepotism. Enough is enough. I feel judged by the cool kids ever time I step in the office. "Am I wearing the right clothes? Is my makeup on right? Am I saying the right things, using the right words?" I was never comfortable. Never myself. The culture is not right. It's off. Something or someone is causing it. It made me question myself. My confidence. My ability to succeed. But was was off? Egos, insecurities, attitudes, challenges working situations and politics. Then I saw the post. An Instagram post that read, "Just a boss mom building her empire." Probably an innocent post to you. It summed it all up to me. I get it now, it's your EMPIRE! That is how you feel. That is how you act. That is what it feels like. You yourself are not transparent with your own feelings Gregg. I'm curious what you say behind closed doors about everyone. Is anyone good enough? No wonder people leave so bitter. It now all makes sense. Your attitude enables the culture. It entitles the cool kids to act like they do. Gregg the Emperor with her sidekick Gina and their devout cronies. As one review said, "Kiss the Ring". I now get it. The rest of us are peasants and servants. I am not a servant! Stop flaunting your elitist lifestyle. It's a turn off. Some of us struggle to pay rent. Some of us save for one trip a year. You go from your house in Santa Monica to your house in the Bahamas to Sun Valley to Santa Barbara to your private beach club. Your success is yours. Good for you. I guess you have your empire but at what expense?

Pros

Great products, worthy mission, nice perks

Cons

The CEO founder was a toxic leader who demeaned many of the very senior and experienced employees, and that trickled down to all roles. The startup vibe was fine (nice lunches and perks) until it was clear how mismanaged all the funds from rounds and rounds of fundraising were spent (on lavish events and trips for their Consultants aka Avon
