Pros

Good supportive coworkers . .

Cons

I worked at a central outlet and had a bad experience with how management handled staffing decisions. I was given only three days’ notice that my employment would be ending and was told I could either resign or be terminated. The short notice was very unexpected and left me little time to prepare or look for another job, which was quite stressful. What I found most challenging was the lack of clear communication. Prior to this, I had been told there might be a transfer to another outlet, but the decision later changed to ending my employment. I was also informed that the company planned to reposition the brand to be more high-end, but I was not given specific feedback on how my performance or profile did not align, which left me confused. Furthermore I was told that the decision had been made way earlier, so why the three days notice? In my opinion, earlier and clearer communication from management would have helped employees prepare for major decisions like this. Providing more detailed feedback and reasonable notice periods could also improve staff morale and professionalism in the workplace.

Pros

Great products and historic successful outdoor brand. Often get to travel to cool places.

Cons

Leadership changes mind often. Heavy lack of communication and alignment between local leadership and global team. Commuting to Ogden is tough. Not much reason to live there and the town and area do not support the brand's mission or community at all. Small group of people do 75% of the work with plenty of people there to "work for a cool company" without actually doing anything. They are still paying and compensating like an outdoor industry brand while taking in the profits of a major footwear player. They need to evolve.
