Pros

Laid back atmosphere in most depts. Only place I know that most employees get to work at 10 and leave at 5 If your lucky and your boss quits you can go from Senior to VP overnight

Cons

They don't promote Very common to not receive a yearly increase Only place I know that makes employees pay for coffee (free roaches inside) Management needs a filter when speaking Don't expect to leave early before a holiday NY office has summer hours only. Pro if you work there. For Miami and LA office they could keep dreaming You can't understand a word the CEO says. Speeches are threating and or without enthusiasm of the business. No money for raises yet they spend money on stupid things "grinding down the speed bumps" No professionalism Low moral. Management only values Sales team. All other depts don't do anything

Pros

From the interview process through onboarding, everyone has been welcoming, professional, and supportive. The leadership team has demonstrated a clear commitment to customer experience, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration. I was particularly impressed by the emphasis placed on customer satisfaction, process improvement, and empowering teams to succeed. The role offers an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting well-known brands such as Original Penguin and Callaway Golf Apparel while working alongside talented professionals across multiple departments. While I’m still new to the organization, I am optimistic about the future and excited to contribute to the continued growth and success of the business.

Cons

None that I can see.

Pros

Continue investing in training and onboarding resources, especially for new team members learning multiple systems and processes at once. Creating even more opportunities for cross-team communication and feedback could also help employees feel even more supported and connected as the company continues to grow. Overall, maintaining the positive culture and collaborative environment is what makes the experience stand out.

Cons

High-stress environment, low morale across teams, limited work-life balance, and leadership styles that can feel outdated, overly harsh, and intimidating. Communication and employee support often felt lacking, and the company culture felt more corporate than creative despite being in the fashion industry. Professional growth and mentorship opportunities also seemed limited depending on the department.
