Former Employee – worked at Quiksilver part-time for more than a year

Pros – cool job, fun environment, laid back

Cons – after working there for 2 years, they still wouldn't promote me and I worked extremely hard. they give you a higher title but they don't really "promote" you. I worked 30-40 hours a week, but I was considered part-time, so I had no benefits. I asked several times to be switched to full-time but they never did.

Former Employee – worked at Quiksilver full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Updated work environment, creative spaces, good place to work if you're action sports oriented

Cons – Poor management, company priorities are not in order, ineffective leadership, career growth path is minimal, execs have good quality of life while worker bees do most of the heavy lifting.

Advice to Senior Management – Coach and encourage your people to grow and take responsibility for their actions. The sign of bad management is withholding information, excluding your team from decision making and communication - stop keeping people in the dark like mushrooms...Stop promoting unqualified "Bros" into executive positions, just because they make great surfing buddies.
