Pros

Just a few coworkers were fun, great, and easy going. Office cookouts a couple of times a year, if you were good at what you did you were left pretty much alone.

Cons

- Upper management was EXTREMELY micro-managing and would not let middle management do their job and manage staff. - High-turnover with sister company, Irio that shared office. - Unwarranted negative treatment by the upper management for job execution if upper management thought it could or should have been done differently. - Upper management was very indecisive and changed processes very often and did not give the current process time to work. - On upper management memeber was also extremely micro managing, expected everyone to work the same number of hours they did, unreasonable, their way or the highway. - There was also a conflict of interests with a memeber of upper management with a subordinate employee and the employee would take advantage of the situation and use it against other employees. - Expected long hours and on weekends even if you were not part of the events team, but you could be asked to work an event. - Limited time to take time off/vacation and limited to usually 5 days or less. Could not have time off around holidays. - Favoritism by management and raises or lack of would be given based on this favoritism. - Lack of clients as there were only two clients. - The company says they are a Christian company, however upper management talks bad about employee behind their back to other emloyees and does not actually treat the employees in a Christain way. They do community projects from time to time to give the appearance of being a Christain company.

Pros

I absolutely love my job! This is a company with values I thought did not exist anymore. I feel like I am a part of a team. They want to hear my opinion and what I have to bring to the table. The CEO is kind and very generous especially with time off and holiday. This is truly a family oriented company. They strive to provide the best for their employees.

Cons

None that I can think of...

Pros

Working at retailcomm is a joy! I've been blessed to work here for a while now, and it's been amazing to see how leadership is taking our ideas and implementing them. They've really worked on adding perks to improve our work-life balance. We already had the ability to bring dogs to work and work-from-home for most roles, but this year, they also initiated flex-time. It's been a game-changer in all the best ways! You can tell that the leadership is always looking for ways to improve work-life balance. Things can get busy and stressful when there are tight deadlines, but working here really is work hard and play hard! We've had some super fun happy hours, lots of breakfasts and lunches provided by retailcomm, and a TALENT SHOW! To say it was awesome is an understatement! If you're looking for a place to be recognized for hard work, to grow in your career, have fun with an incredible team of people, and be heard, retailcomm could be for you!

Cons

There are some incredibly busy times in the industry of experiential, and it can be stressful. However, if you've got grit and determination to do your job well, you can get through it. Since the company is still growing, each member of the team is really vital to its success. It's not the company for someone who wants to take a backseat on the team.
