Pros
Ability to make great industry contacts Free beauty products Flexible hours (WFH Mondays, 11am-?? office hours) AMAZING, talented, witty, fun team (below MGMT level)
Cons
- You can feel a literal sigh of relief in the office when management leaves for the day. - Founder has established a set of "core values" which are often used to place blame for problems, but management is rarely held accountable for said values themselves. These values include “ownership”, “direct communication”, “problem solving”, etc. The CEO is usually the absolute last person in the office and the first to leave during the day. Management will ask to have a meeting about something, ask for a follow up email about said meeting, and will clearly not listen to or read and then ask questions about things that had been discussed in both. - I caught someone in upper management talking behind my back to another co-worker as I sat at their desk helping that particular co-worker learn a new tool. - Editors are clearly over-worked, I was often in the office with the newest member of the team past 7pm while her boss worked a 6 hour day. - Emphasis is heavy on quick fixes, very little patience is applied for long-term issues that need long term solutions. “Best Practices” are often not disregarded and even frowned upon– while I was working there, a few outside agencies declined to work directly with SheFinds due to the way business was being conducted. - Note: consider that the only positive reviews were written by CURRENT employees – admittedly they were ASKED to write positive write ups to counteract the negative reviews
