Pros

* One of the best in class in terms of culture. Very humane & people driven policies & benefits * Small office, start-up environment, filled with professionals from large firms * Lots of candy * WFH flexibility, other manufacturing companies pale in comparison * Majority women lead

Cons

* Flat organization with long tenure so limited growth opportunities especially for highly ambitious professionals * Pay is above industry standard but not exceptional relative to the best out there

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We agree, the culture at SmartSweets is best in class, and we are lucky to work with such awesome Squad Members. The Squad plays a vital role in shaping our sweet culture, and it is essential to foster a supportive, flexible, and inclusive environment. Being a small company, we may not always offer a straightforward career path for everyone. Nevertheless, we are fully committed to supporting and investing in the development journey of our Squad Members through our Individual Development Plan program/funding. If you have ideas on how we can further support the Squad’s development, please do not hesitate to reach out. We value your input and appreciate your dedication to our mission to give people the candy they know and love with less sugar. Have a sweet day, Heidi Dorosin + Katrina Hahn, Co-CEO’s

Thanks for leaving a review! We agree, our Squad events provide sweet opportunities for both local and remote Squad Members to connect and have fun! You’ve shared feedback across a number of important programs to us. This year we implemented SweetWeek, additional time-off at the end of the year (in addition to 3 weeks paid vacation), thanks to the Squad’s feedback. We encourage you to continue sharing your suggestions with us so we can continue to improve the Squad experience. Have a sweet day, Heidi Dorosin + Katrina Hahn, Co-CEO’s

free candy - very cool brand that is doing some cutting edge marketing

Cons

almost 100% remote - some people love being remote but I like being in an office a few days per week
