Pros

They pay for class pass.

Kontras

There is absolutely NO STRUCTURE here. From management to HR, it is an absolute mess. They hire consultant after consultant thinking it will somehow fix every issue this company has, but none of these people know anything about apparel and they sure don't have the people skills to run their own teams. The lack of professionalism is ASTONISHING. If someone in upper management doesn't like you, they all won't like you. The amount of bullying and gossiping that constantly makes it's way around the company is like nothing I've ever experienced before. These people will belittle you behind your back but they will not have the decency to share ways in which you can grow or improve. Work/Life Balance is NON-EXISTENT at this place. You know it's toxic when they praise people for "doing whatever it takes" every chance they can get. Which includes working through the middle of the night or constantly taking on new tasks because people keep quitting and you have to be a "team player" or else you get a talking to. There are no boundaries here. Late night phone calls, working on vacation, lack of sleep, mental and emotional exhaustion...the list goes on. My mental health plummeted. The amount of stress this job brings is not worth all of the money in the world. The constant issues, the lack of support, the belittling, the poor management, are just a few examples of what you have to face on a daily basis.

Pros

Loved the people and the firm. Felt like I was surrounded by some of the smarted people I'd ever worked with.

Kontras

Usual considerations with startups: priorities change constantly. Big initiatives were not always planned far enough in advance. Primarily, the firm's core product (T-Shirts) have a clear seasonal window between March and July. Things tend to get bumpy outside of that season.

Pros

The people you work (in the trenches) with are great. There is a strong product-market fit. $60M+ brand is a legit brand.

Kontras

The CEO lacks a clear long-term vision, relying on a leadership team composed of former consultants (ex-McKinsey, ex-Bain, etc.) with minimal real-world experience in Apparel or DTC ecommerce. This lack of industry expertise has led to recurring layoffs every 6-8 months, as the organization struggles with cash flow issues the CEO is unable to resolve. Strategic direction is erratic, with no actionable plan for scaling beyond $60M revenue, leaving the company stagnant while competitors with strong brand investments dominate the space. Operational missteps, such as overbuying inventory (invoices signed off by CFO), incurring high warehouse fees, and poor sell-through, resulted in the COO's firing. A lack of cash then hindered the ability to stock inventory during peak seasons, which contributed to declines in customer acquisition and revenue growth, culminating in the dismissal of the entire marketing team. The CEO often deflects accountability, shifting blame onto others despite claiming to prioritize empathy and care for employees.
