Pros

Employee discount, some paid holidays, a number of thoughtful coworkers who "see" you, and make an effort to be kind and inclusive.

Cons

-There are long tenured management employees who act entitled, openly having rude interactions with those in positions they considered less important or "below" them. This creates unnecessary stress and drama, and a "walk on eggshells" environment. For example, in my position, I was told to "use my brain" or scolded like a misbehaving child if I made an insignificant error in my work. These comments were made on repeat occasions (even when training) in front of multiple coworkers, which was very uncomfortable and inappropriate. -I was told the employee who previously held my position had "moved up in the company", but found out this was false, as the person had departed, in part due to difficulties outlined in the first statement. When I inquired about this with management, all of them blamed this one person who barely speaks and is rarely in the office. It seemed like they were being used as a scapegoat, instead of assuring the issues would be prevented in the future. -C&F Enterprises, the company that acquired tag in 2018, is located in West Virginia. Their overall involvement with tag seems performative, and withholding of information and resources that would allow tag to be more successful financially and culturally. -Low pay with no significant wage increases for certain positions, bleak break room, no standing desks or wellness perks, remote work permitted only for certain people, mostly drone work assignments, outdated technology. - The office environment is dead silent, and inter department collaboration is rare or nonexistent. There is a monthly full staff meeting that doesn't truly engage, or foster trust and inspiration, among employees.

Pros

You learn a lot about the demands of wholesale. Great tenured non leadership staff,

Cons

No opportunity to grow you will be in the same roll for eons, performance reviews are just venting sessions you don't get any pay increases unless you really complain over and over, you will be overworked and underpaid, customer service is the credit specialist, order managers, e-commerce specialist and so on. The leadership is terrible not really open to feedback and doesn't take the advise given by the employees who do the day to day,one HR person who bias at times, no training, meetings are pointless updates and no real meaning strategies, oh and they play favoritism catering to specifics, and not everyone. Owned byC&F another horrible company bought out the business never bothered to meet it's needs for improvement it's sad because they make and sale great home decor products but need structure. Some of the products are not quality checked at all and over and over again arrive damaged or have defects yet despite being made aware the product returns seasonal. Shows are not tailored towards meeting the customers needs only towards selling and sales reps always over promise or mislead customers due to their lack of knowledge of processes. And c&f warehousing is the worst they don't do regular inventory they don't have an organization storage system they don't have basic packing material for fragile items. I can go on and on about the various issues.
