Pros

- Wonderful supportive company culture. Everyone who works here lives and breathes the outdoor lifestyle; colleagues are supportive and encourage each other to succeed. Lots of vibrant personalities and humor in the office -Great location (San Luis Obispo in this random forest by the railroad tracks, close to restaurants and bike path) - promotes from within whenever possible - open to change - execs are available and communicative - HR is super funny and brings treats often - generous employee discount - work hard, play hard mentality

Cons

- offers less vacation time compared to most (not a deal breaker though) - health insurance is expensive, but cheaper than other companies in town - if you like Christmas, its a bummer because you don't get too much time off during holidays, but honestly, thats to be expected because your work in retail. (but last year they gave everyone an extra vacation day that they can use at any time during the year, and most office employees, aside from csr, a 3 day weekend over xmas) - could use more employee outings

Pros

It was a good company to work for that offered profit sharing.

Cons

Unfortunately, the pandemic caused too many issues with supply chain and funding. The company was forced to close shop.

Pros

It's in San Luis Obispo? There really isn't much more than that.

Cons

The CEO and his son (the "Chief Strategy Officer") are absolutely insane. They provide no transparency, micro-manage everything, and the CEO has a temper the likes of which I've never seen in the workplace. They are beyond stingy: -No plastic utensils -No coffee in the office -No paper cups -You want a stapler? Borrow the secretary's Yet with all of these "austerity measures" they continue to drive crazy Porsches to work each day. I was deeply under utilized by my direct manager and the executive team, despite repeatedly asking for more work and projects. I felt I was never given a chance to help move the business forward or even make a case for my ideas. If it's not their idea, it's just never going to happen. I saw almost 1/5 of the staff leave in my short tenure, and many of them breathed a welcome sigh of relief when it was done. I did too. Not a good sign at such a small company. During the interview process the values of teamwork, positive social environment, transparency, and fun were all mentioned, yet none of it was true
