Pros
• Nice product that you can genuinely get behind • Creative freedom - room to experiment and bring your own ideas • Founders are approachable and down to earth • Good perks • Store teams are warm and welcoming
Cons
• Homogeneous team culture - limited diversity in background and mindset • Forget work-life balance - evenings are not yours anymore, no exceptions • US and Europe teams struggle to work together, communication breaks down often • Management style is inconsistent - chaotic at times, overly corporate at others • KPIs are unrealistic given where the brand actually stands today • Some solid people, but a lot of politics and posturing • High turnover on both ends - people let go without warning, others leaving by choice. Says a lot.
