Pros

Company has strong culture supporting work-life balance and flex-time schedules. Good benefits. Good learning opportunities. Majority of the employees who work here are uber talented and treat co-workers with mutual respect and understanding regardless of rank, title or background. Friendly atmosphere and culture.

Cons

The company struggles to maintain talent due to constant structure ...and now location changes. Aside from high turnover there have been yearly layoffs that effect most departments and locations worldwide. These reorganization decisions have frequently cut functions to save costs but left gaping holes without solid plans communicating how to fix. As the teams get smaller and shuffled around, the same work seems to churn over and over without getting anywhere. Many in upper management struggle to understand how to connect and bring in younger consumers or maintain reps. Good product ideas are either killed or take so long to launch with so many costs cut, they tend to miss the boat which has already sailed.

Pros

See latest varied product offerings Can buy some samples & products @ discount

Cons

Need to find your own customers, many not home. Spend much time on computer, entering orders precisely. Trying to co- ordinate customers deliveries, for you to get their payments, so that you're not stuck for the bill & excess (some made in China mdse) products. Quite a lot effort for smaller $.
