Pros

Company has been growing at an incredibly fast clip and always has new initiatives and challenges to tackle. This creates meaningful work opportunities as well as an environment where everyone is working together towards a common goal. Performance based culture rewards hard work and bonus payouts are above market. Culture values include: Teamwork, Balance, Expertise, Respect for All, Initiative and Passion for the Product and Customer. Employees are all obsessed with creating an experience for our clients to be surprised and delighted. Entrepreneurial environment allows you to make a big impact. On top of all that, the people are wonderful. Colleagues show up every day caring about the company and YOU as an individual.

Cons

As a retail company in the SF Bay Area right now, the company isn't able to compete with other early stage tech companies that offer generous perks like free lunch, dogs at work, etc. Because we're lean, we don't have 4 people doing the same job and that can sometimes lead to employees feeling like they're working really hard. They are, but we're all working towards something, not just spinning our wheels.

Pros

Able to try different products (if time permits), encourage positivity with customers and fellow employees, ability to create a team environment

Cons

difficulty speaking with managerial team without the subject matter being turned into a personal matter, not much celebration for those who pull the team to its highest points,
