Ken Polanco

Believe the negative reviews overall environment is very negative and catty- as set forth by staff members who have been with the company longterm, senior management and the owners. -- Although all employees are salary- ownership still asks for all employees to clock in/out for the day- including lunch but does not follow California state employment laws which make employees eligible for overtime when working past 8 hour work day. -- Senior leadership is left beholden to the owners who constantly bicker and can not make a unified decision. Since ownership has insisted on having the last word on day today workload (although they are not in the office 40% of the time) - there is then no accountability for missed deadlines, outrageous cost of production and last minute updates made in design choices. --Owner will always make promises and commitments to factory owners which global supply team is then left to chase and apologize for when commitments can not be met. -- Additionally - many vendors are left unpaid and global sourcing team is left to try and maintain relationships (as can be accounted for at the beginning of 2020 and during Covid). Overall- there is shady shady business practices being done. The math does not add up on the business side in regards to margins, profit and actual product being delivered to customers.

"Happy to work for him"
