Pros

Most people who work here are young, but the ones that are allowed to stick around are either family or childhood friends with the owners.

Cons

1. Salary is not great compared to comparable positions in other companies. 2. Benefits are basically non-existent. 3. You're expected to work very long hours in a pretty remote part of Brooklyn and for very little reward. 4. The CEO hires only his friends and family, if you happen to be an outsider he will not take you seriously and micro-manage you incessantly since he thinks he knows better than everyone on any topic (finance, accounting, marketing, operations,design, etc.) 5. No differing opinions or any kind of disagreement with the owners are allowed. If you disagree with any decision they make you will likely be fired. 6. Within the past year they have fired at least 4 people before they ever hit the 5 month mark for no reason other than they are not friends or family of the owners.

Pros

Lights.com was a great experience of mine, where I was able to learn and grow for over 2 years. They provided an environment that was conducive to both helping the company grow and helping me grow in my skills. Also since they are not a giant company my contributions really mattered and made a difference. For people looking to be an integral part of a company Lights.com is a great place to do it.

Cons

I had a long commute in everyday which got tiring. Communication across departments could be improved. Locations for lunch limited in the area:(
