Pros

The only pro - Remote environment

Cons

This CEO claims he knows how to grow startup brands, meanwhile he overpays employees whom are undeserving, in order to push talented employees out. It’s a continuous revolving door, where everyone is scared to advise HR of the unjust company behaviors by executive management that are occurring on a daily basis. Stay away. The founder is just as bad , a child who runs to the CEO, playing nepotism to employees who will gossip, in order to push employees out. This company has perfected the strategy of quiet firing, in order to push employees out so they wont fire them. Toxic work environment, all due to the CEO and founder who has no idea what they're doing in order to grow a business. This business is burning to the ground.

Pros

Remote work, employee discount, handful of people

Cons

The culture is political and rooted in favoritism. Advancement and opportunity are not consistently tied to measurable performance or business outcomes. Proximity to select individuals carries more weight than results. High performers are often overextended while others are insulated. Behavioral standards are applied inconsistently. Male leaders were permitted to speak aggressively, raise their voices, and reprimand employees publicly without consequence. These incidents were visible and known. HR did not meaningfully intervene. When concerns were raised, employees were often told to resolve issues themselves rather than seeing patterns of unprofessional conduct addressed structurally. This reinforced a culture where accountability depended on who you were, not what occurred. HR exerts disproportionate influence over structural and career-impacting decisions without clear operational or financial grounding. Decisions around leveling, compensation, and reporting lines often lack transparency and measurable criteria. This reinforces internal politics and compounds inequities. Leadership lacks cohesion and long-term clarity. Organizational changes are frequent and poorly executed. Priorities shift without discipline, creating unnecessary rework and normalized burnout. Compensation does not reliably reflect scope. Responsibility expands faster than pay, recognition, or structural support. If you are comfortable navigating politics and aligning yourself strategically, you may advance. If you expect merit-based growth, disciplined operations, and consistent professional standards, this will be frustrating.
