Pros

Honestly the only pros here are that the pay can be good depending on your role and the product/company itself has a cool brand image. But in the end not worth it at all.

Cons

-The managers enjoy using their "power" in an upper level position to belittle their employees by assuming they understand their assignments/ projects right away with little to no training. -It is common for managers to make their employees cry with no repercussions, probably resulting from a trickle down environment from the founders who are not very approachable and don't even understand their own company's processes. -They hire all their friends, resulting in a cliquey environment -When you make a mistake (even when you are new), it will not be met with patience, but rather with an unprofessional tone as if you're getting yelled at by a parent, and if you try to seek help because of this toxic situation, the other higher up team members will support them and stand by them. -If you are not liked, they will not make eye contact with you or converse with you. -They tell you how to complete a project one way, and then another person will tell you that process is wrong, resulting in the responsibility falling on you and you having to redo your work. -They also don't fully train and inform you of certain do/ don't processes, so if you make a mistake it's on you not them for not properly training you. -They will throw work at you with minimal help and expect you to handle it. If you can't, then it leads to resentment from the team since they expect you to be up and running with no time for an adjustment period. -They make fat-phobic comments about their models, and constantly try to have a mean girl fashion attitude, which is honestly just not considered cool in the fashion industry anymore. -They also don't really believe in a hybrid work environment, which makes working in office everyday at a toxic company very exhausting, and no one really takes a lunch break.
