Pros

People (Mid level managers) Decent salary Brands

Cons

- Poor and phony leadership - Absolutely no work-life balance - Antiquated way of doing business - Unreasonable expectations/workload - Lack of structure and processes -Chaotic -True definition of Insanity - Treat employees poorly and condescendingly -Anarchy style, expect you to bow down to those based on title - Lacks vision and strategy - Behind in innovation - Reactionary style - Inefficient -Top heavy with VPs and no lower /middle level mgrs that need to get job done - Claim to be “entrepreneurial” but that’d require all working together, and getting things done (not the case here) -Italians have this demeanor that women are beneath them - Adapt to US culture vs bringing traditional Italian ways that don’t work to the US - Walk the talk, as much as they say “People Centricity” is their top pillar it’s all a front. They all treat people how they feel like it.

Pros

They give you lots of candy for free

Cons

This company refuses to train new employees. They will expect you to come to work and beg people to train you who will shut you down and say they are too busy. They had multiple employees go on 5 week vacations in the three months I was there which made it even harder to train but again they expect you to read minds. This company looks for a scapegoat at every chance they get and they will try to make you look bad despite not training you on anything. I would never recommend this company. The manager will give you zero assistance with training and doesn't even bother to check-in with you. There are so many better jobs in Chicago where they actually care about you.
