Pros

No dress code. Casual office environment. You have the freedom to come and go as long as you finish your work. Want to play your music? Go ahead! As other have said, if you have a great idea brewing in your head feel free to speak up as they are always willing to listen. In a sense, you are your own "boss" so long as you take direction and lead. Your coworkers are all nice and so is the big boss.

Cons

"Sigh" Where to begin? Management at AKIRA is a complete joke (despite the fact I love a good joke) with no sense of structure throughout the company. There is no training whatsoever. I'm not expecting for someone to hold your hand a babysit you throughout the day, but a general sense of company procedures and how to access certain things would be nice; I mean what's 30 minutes of quick training?? Duh! The pay is a joke for what you will do in a corporate environment. I consider myself a workaholic by nature (love me a 9-9 day), but everyone has a limit until you realize the amount of work they add to your title far exceeds the pay, e.g. almost minimum wage when you break it down. Other jobs pay far more for the title you will take at AKIRA. Warehouse/corporate office? Absolutely disgusting! If you enjoy working in a crowded office with flies everywhere, dogs (cute ones!) running around doing their business in the middle of the floor (uh oh!), a "kitchen" with 3 day old food on the counters then by all means be my guest and sign up. Quite honestly, the warehouse and back office is in some serious legal violations. No break room so you are expected to have your break in front of your computer essentially meaning you don't have a break. I guarantee you if health official or OSHA dropped by here, it would be a complete shutdown! No I am not that evil that I will call....or maybe I will to spare my fellow ex co-workers ("insert evil laugh"). Customer service is a joke. Hundreds of complaints every week of defective merchandise with management not caring...e.g, all about the $$$ with cheaply made clothes. Yeah I get it! "You get what you pay for." But management can easily address with manufactures for better quality control. Blah blah..and no benefits or incentives! Just sell your soul to this place!
