Vantaggi
Culture is great. Genuine coworkers and managers that want you to succeed and grow in your career. Unlimited PTO is a great bonus.
Svantaggi
Lack of vision or direction for a company that really has a rich history and can have a great story to tell. No long-term plan set in stone for success. Feels like we are flying by the seat of our pants and the orders from higher ups changes very frequently. The company has suffered to the extent that employees now pay the price - employee pricing benefit has been capped and reduced, retirement match has also been decreased. The ELT may have a lot of experience running businesses, but it's certainly a question of whether they can run a successful outdoor retailer. I'm unsure of the future of this company, especially with continual lay-offs of employees. The continual poor performance may be a macro trend, but you can't help but wonder if it's a function of leadership to a degree.
