Vantaggi
I loved my direct team and the adjacent teams I worked with. Everyone was amazing, kind and hardworking. The company has good values and approaches work life balance in a fulfilling way. I loved the work I got to do.
Svantaggi
CEO and upper level management preach transparency, but I was never told when I first started that ID was a still in start up mode financially, though we were opening stores like we were rolling in cash. (ID does not make money, simply relies on investor funds, and those funds were handled carelessly at the expense of employees). I am not a business expert but I think anyone with an ounce of intelligence could see the mistakes that were being made at the top. Grew way too fast way too quick, and created unrealistic and unattainable sales goals to which the blame for fell upon the employees. It was painful to see so many employees have to take the blow for mistakes made by the CEO and finance. Macro economy was always their blame which was was somewhat the case. Just sad and frustrating to watch so many people lose their jobs in a recession because of the carelessness of people with an abundance of money.
