Pros

Free coffee! Free alcohol! Free cereal! Free soda! Free tea! Free candy! Free coconut water! If you like free things a lot, then you might like working here a little. Coworkers were nice, and mostly came from artistic backgrounds. Fancy cappuccino machine means all the pleasures of being a barista, with none of the pressures. Showroom colorful and full of abstractly designed pillows.

Cons

Bait and switch job functions. No paid holidays. New employees usually quit in 1 - 6 months. Management unprofessional, underhanded, passive aggressive. Garbage stored in showroom. Poor communication. Hopelessly disorganized, stock and staff alike. Employees undervalued and underpaid. Management gives irresponsible advice.

Pros

great product, fast paced and dynamic, great friendly atmosphere, amazing opportunities to get exposure and take on real responsibilities

Cons

it's still a relatively small company and therefore sometimes you have to get your hands dirty doing some basic stuff too. it's great though- it's the real deal!

Pros

The concept itself is ingenious Product is actually quite nice and high quality Staff members are fun and personable Location is great Plenty of freebies

Cons

Management or lack thereof No formal training; very "sink or swim" Compensation is based upon how much management likes you, not the work you do.
