Pros

Incredible early experience and career growth: I started as a warehouse associate and was promoted several times, eventually becoming a manager. The opportunity to grow internally was one of the best parts of my time at Nabis. Genuine, hardworking teams on the ground: The warehouse and operations staff are the heart of this company—authentic, determined, and deeply supportive. The camaraderie among this group is unmatched across the rest of the org. Personal and professional development: I gained a wide range of skills—from operations and leadership to recruiting and culture initiatives. I’m grateful for how much I learned here, even when the circumstances were challenging.

Cons

Toxic leadership culture: At the corporate level, leadership felt disingenuous and disconnected. Many decisions seemed profit-driven and performative, with little regard for the people doing the day-to-day work. Severe overwork and burnout: I regularly worked 10–12 hour days and had to fill in for understaffed roles at all levels. Staffing issues persisted for years without resolution, contributing heavily to burnout. Lack of support and training: In my role as a recruiter, I had multiple micromanagers but no real guidance or onboarding. I had to write the SOPs for my own job, since none existed before. Disorganized, ego-driven teams: My team in recruiting claimed to be top-performing, but in reality, they were disorganized, unaligned, and inconsistent. Praise was often fleeting, and criticism was harsh and one-sided—favoritism was rampant. Frustrating collaboration with other departments: Many teams didn’t know what they needed in a new hire, even months after opening a role. Senior leaders were often difficult to coordinate with—one even no-showed an interview I had worked hard to schedule, without any communication. Culture shift from ground-level to corporate: The people who make Nabis what it is are in the warehouse and on the floor. Once you transition into corporate, the environment feels hollow—like a completely different company.

Pros

Working at Nabis has been one of the most fast-paced and rewarding experiences of my career. The team is made up of smart, driven people who genuinely care about building something meaningful, and there’s a strong culture of ownership and collaboration across departments. If you enjoy environments where you can make an impact, move quickly, and help shape processes as the company grows, this is a great place to be. One thing that stands out is the opportunity for growth. Leadership is open to new ideas, and there’s a lot of visibility into the business as a whole. I’ve appreciated being trusted to take initiative, improve systems, and partner closely with leaders across the organization. The company is growing rapidly, so there are always new challenges to tackle and opportunities to learn. Like any high-growth company, priorities can shift quickly, and the pace can feel intense at times. But for people who thrive in startup environments and want exposure to scaling operations, tech, and innovation, it’s an exciting place to work.

Cons

Workloads can be demanding during periods of rapid growth or expansion, especially in operational roles.

Coworkers easily have become family

Cons

Management is racist and sexist. They work people like slaves who get nothing in return.
