Pros

The brand. FREE LUNCH ( only because I can't think of anything else). I'm really trying and there is a 20 word minimum for this section.

Cons

Incase is now run by the incipio team. They completely gutted this amazing company and are slowly killing the brand by cheapening the products. Basically turning it into InCHEAPio. Incase is now headquartered in the Incipio building where you are surrounded by fresh out of college, first job, no professional etiquette employees. Upper management encourages a competitive ( political ) environment instead of a team atmosphere. The benefits are terrible and they really try to sell you on the free lunch thing, which, if you're 20, live at home and have no bills I guess free lunch would be enough of a perk since you're probably still on your parents insurance. All of management has zero power, everything is decided by the great and mighty Andy, even your bonus. Advice to potential new talent: RUN!!!

Sweat shop in DTLA

Pros

--Majority of the staff (aside from management) are talented, hard-working and compassionate for one another. --Freebies

Cons

--Zero planning, project management, work load management. It's chaos, every task is a fire. --High turn over, resulting in the relatively new, leading the really new. --Understaffed, everyone carries 3 rolls, thus everyone is over-worked. Including manual labor as office movers, climb stairs to the 5th floor (elevator was broken), on a 95+ degree day while carrying heavy things up a narrow, old, winding stairwell, with NO A/C (note below). --Deceptive management, dangles opportunity and possibilities over you like a carrot. --Low budget seems to be a theme throughout, in projects, facilities (other than the location of the building), salary, etc. --No A/C, in DTLA Summer highs are 90-100+. Literally, you're working in a sweat shop. --Heaps of stuff piled on the floor, from merchandise to snacks (at least the buyer kept in mind to select wrapped & sealed foods). --Scarce, cheap office supplies.

Pros

-Working at Apple's most recognizable accessory brand -A history of innovative (early/mid 2000s) and well made (still) products -(Prior to Incipio acquisition) Large employee credit towards product every calendar year -Tony Held was a good CEO, who had a network and hunger to push the consumer-products envelope and make pieces that people remember.

Cons

-Incipio and Andy's plan to grow by quantity of products-offered has sacrificed product quality and development for product designers -Where the product is sold matters. -Company location -Little room for upward growth within the company -Stubborn/non-inspired management -Lack of overall synergy, flow and desire
