Pros
Minimal. Any positives are overshadowed by ongoing issues with workload, structure, and culture.
Cons
There is a noticeable disconnect between the company’s external messaging around wellness and the internal reality for employees. Work-life balance is not prioritized, and it is common for employees to work well beyond a standard 40-hour week without additional support or compensation.
Compensation does not consistently align with role expectations or level of experience, particularly for more senior positions. Benefits are emphasized during hiring, but they do not adequately offset below-market pay.
The organization lacks foundational structure and clear processes, which often leads to inefficiencies, shifting priorities, and last-minute demands. With very limited HR support, there are few formal systems in place to support employees, address concerns, or ensure long-term sustainability.
Culturally, there are ongoing challenges around professionalism and communication. There are instances of leadership communication that is reactive and belittling to employees, including raised voices and public criticism, which can create an uncomfortable work environment. Additionally, there are very persistent and visible issues with internal gossip—including at the leadership level—and team dynamics. This environment can make it difficult to feel supported or to do your best work.
There is also limited visibility into clear growth or development opportunities, making it difficult to see a long-term path within the organization. Combined with the broader cultural challenges, this contributes to burnout and retention concerns.
There appears to be a stronger emphasis on external spend (such as influencer marketing and brand visibility) than on internal investment in employees, which further impacts morale and long-term sustainability.
