As always, I feel bad for the employees but this wasn’t a surprise. It’s another company I had a horrible interview experience with which led me believe it was likely a mean girls club. That atmosphere does not inspire loyalty or dedication from its employees. Also, while the product was cute, it was just more athleisure in an already saturated market.
