Pros

I loved the day to day work and the people on my specific team.

Cons

As far as being progressive, the company has a great deal to learn. As of May 2019, there was one Black woman employed in the HQ office. I'd like that to have struck the people in leadership as odd and wildly troubling, but the lack of diversity was not ever addressed in any of the larger, company meetings. Comments were made by customers about the lack of diversity. And, in response, a template was created to address customers who wrote in with "political/controversial opinions." This was a rather interesting take since pointing out a lack of diversity is neither political or controversial-- it is either false or it is true. The template was 2-3 sentences long. To compare it to another template, the template about being vegan was a few, dense paragraphs. The template for political views, of course, pontificated that the company cares about all people regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. Despite that claim, there still isn't a significant representation of darker skinned people, overweight people, trans people or physically disabled people on their social media channels nor are those populations proportionately represented in their offices. To be fair, On is not unique and several retailers have been under fire for their non-equitable business practices. So On is merely one in a million and they are not the inventors of systemic racism or of gas lighting tactics. But that is exactly why I was so disappointed...I genuinely, at one time, believed they were interested in true cultural progress where all body types really are represented both on their marketing materials AND, more importantly, in their offices.

Pros

Room for growth, especially if you really go looking for opportunities. Most of the opportunities are within retail. Don’t expect to be launched into a corporate role from a retail role.

Cons

- Pay is not good. Similar retailers pay several dollars more per hour and offer better benefits. They say that the rate is competitive but having worked for several other retailers, it’s not. - Operations are a nightmare. The company has scaled too fast and has left many loose ends that are still not tied up. Good luck finding answers to any problem that comes up. Be warned that paychecks and benefits WILL get screwed up. There are so many inconsistencies that make for more work and needless interpersonal friction. - Too much information is available for the entire company to view. There are not appropriate channels built in to limit access to information based on title and responsibilities. - Company culture is fine, but not for everyone. I did not feel welcome. I would not recommend working here unless you do super well with ambiguity. This company is still running like a startup.
