Pros

You get to work in DUMBO. There is a coolness factor to being a player in the outdoor industry. Decent vacation policy. Work with great people.

Cons

Frequently lie to employees. Many product recalls. Irresponsible with money. Upper management (CEO, CFO, etc.) create an environment of distrust that everyone copies. All talk and no action. Culture of not listening to employees and not following through on commitments.

Pros

The work environment is incredibly positive, with everyone being kind, helpful, and genuinely invested in your well-being. The workload is manageable, especially compared to previous roles I've held, and there's no micromanagement. As long as projects are completed on time, you're given the freedom to manage your schedule however you see fit. This flexibility, combined with the supportive atmosphere, makes it a great place to work.

Cons

The outdoor and recreation market can be unpredictable, with some years being highly successful and others less so. Additionally, there's limited room for career growth within the company due to its smaller size. Unlike larger organizations, such as the Big Four, promotions don't happen annually. While this isn't a concern for me, it could be for others seeking rapid advancement.

Pros

It’s a small but growing company so there are opportunities to learn new things. Coworkers are nice and genuinely care about you.

Cons

Leadership is usually overwhelmed and rarely have a plan. They react to challenging situations rather than prevent them.
