Pros
Very challenging, but fun. The apparel industry is not an easy business, lots of hours and hard work, people think working in apparel design, production, development is glamorous, well it is not you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. You are expected to wear multiple hats at one time, but that is what makes it fun you are not bored as you are not doing the same thing day in day out. That is how working at Abi Ferrin was for me. I actually lost weight while working at Abi from all the walking up and down the stairs, carrying clothes, putting clothes on racks, picking up clothes from contractors etc.... LOL
Cons
Unfortunately had to move on as there were no benefits included. When you have a family who depends on you that is something to considered even if you love what you are doing. That is the downside of working for very small companies.
