        Pros

        Its good to learn about e-commerce and also learn about the responsibilities of owning your own store. They also have an in-built customer base.

        Cons

        There contact times are bad and they are usually provide 'solutions' that dont solve the problem or are just copy and pasted out of a database. They have a big policy about copyright and trademarks yet there are several stores selling products based off of very famous characters that don't get banned.

                      Workplace teams look after the teams with food, treats and events.

                      Cons

                      Team members are long standing and very cliquey. Management is a mess and unsupportive. No structure or forward thinking. Overall performance is low and teams are inexperienced. No diversity. No real regard for staff. Work moves at a glacial pace. Goal posts get moved too often.

                        Great leadership, great mission, and great company. The company has so much potential that we're still scratching the surface with what we can do.

                        Cons

                        Priorities can change quickly, so you need to be comfortable in that environment

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
