Genuinely nice and caring coworkers, Clothing stipend, Unlimited PTO, Work from home flexibility

Cons

Very low compensation with barely any raises, Heavy workload that gets heavier every year especially after layoffs, Poor management and CEO, Business strategy changes constantly depending on which freelancers they’re currently using, Freak-out! mode when sales are down for one day, Poorly organized company budget that prioritizes what CEO personally wants, Lavish all expenses paid international travel for only two to three employees in the name of “Inspiration,” Lack of employees means extra work to take time off, Lack of Human Resources department to ensure employees are actually happy and taken care of, CEO expects a lot out of a small crew of underpaid employees, Minimal career growth because of small company

Pros

Tea delivers on its brand promise. Beautiful, unique designs; high-quality kids apparel; gives back 10% of profits. Lots of dedicated, passionate people work there. Small company feels like family. Very entrepreneurial environment, lots of support for owning and trying new ideas. It's a special brand and great place to work!

Cons

You wear lots of hats at Tea. Upside is you can learn and grow, but downside is the risk of burnout and/or lack of work/life balance.
