Pros

Discount on products, casual dress, near the beach

Cons

The old adage, "People don't leave companies, they leave bosses" held true for me. The executive leadership lacks ethical integrity. Promises made regarding compensation, bonuses and promotion potential were lies. Qualified people were not advanced in the interview process because of their age. Very little strategic direction. Executives are making tactical every day decision, and micro-managing employees at all levels. Supply chain leadership is supported by a very inexperienced mid-level management staff that lack the industry experience to question any bad decisions or behavior. In fact, by hiring young and inexperienced staff throughout the organization, very few decisions are questioned. This can be troublesome when on-boarding seasoned workers who see issues with ethics and bad business behavior.

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
