    Don't even bother.

    Pros

    There are no pros to working here. They are not kind people and they do not value hard workers.

    Cons

    I was with Lockerz from 2009 till 2014. It was my dream job. I loved it and never had any complaints. My naive dream was to work for them until I got old. Once Lockerz/Ador was bought out by LightInTheBox, I was immediately laid off. I was told an hour before my shift ended. There was no warning. I have yet to find another job. It's been six months. I'm not qualified for unemployment benefits.

    Great growth opportunity

    Pros

    There is a tremendous growth opportunity for a self-starter and motivated employee. The company is operating in many countries and across many verticals, allowing for testing new all the time.

    Cons

    Although it's a very mature company, many of the processes still reflect the agility of a startup, which might take a bit to get used to if you come from a more structured corporate environment.

    Not the absolute worst job in China, but I didn't particularly enjoy it

    Pros

    At the time, I was able to work with an international team from 26 different countries. The cross-cultural exchange made for some great conversation and some long-lasting friendships. Also, they had a pingpong table in the courtyard.

    Cons

    Egomaniacal CEO, incompetent upper management more focused on their own self-aggrandizement than the furthering of the company's goals.

    If you get a good manager who creates a great team, it can be fine. Hours can be long, but I also found there was some flexibility around your exact schedule.

    Cons

    No 401(k) matching, lack of loyalty
