Pros

Whether you’ll like it here or not depends entirely on your own attitude, work ethic, and integrity. I want anyone who joins to really want to be here, so I have been up front with candidates and team members that we’re running a business. We need to respond to customer feedback as well as trends in buying based on seasonality and the market by pivoting and testing quickly. Thriving team members are paying attention, reliable, responsive, thoughtful, and solutions oriented. True Classic team members are encouraged to keep calls short and not spend their whole day in meetings, so they have enough time to focus on doing their best work, prioritizing the actions that will be the most impactful. When you are laser focused on what would be best for the customer, it will become obvious what the next right thing to do is. You will thrive here if you are coachable and can apply an attitude of beginner’s mind to your areas of responsibility. You will be held accountable for the performance of your channels, which the team finds enlivening. It’s not the kind of place where you can hide out. If you find you need something to do your job better, speak up. Even if you don’t know what to ask for or who to ask, that’s ok. You will be surrounded by smart people who care and can help you find solutions. As someone who works directly with them, I have a different perspective on Ben and Ryan. Yes, they’re passionate, intense, direct guys. And they don’t always agree with each other or expect everyone to agree with them. They listen and are open to feedback. I’ve seen them make changes when they realize something is not working. They want to make things better for the team, so they are putting in structures and processes to improve how we work together, evolving the company from its early startup days, yet striving to stay true to its roots. They feel an enormous sense of responsibility to positively impact the business and a commitment to delivering an awesome customer experience. If you get feedback from them or anyone else, take it, learn from it, and do better next time. Yes, you’ll be challenged to do your best. There is tension between the two company values of moving the needle and executing as a pro. It can be done though. Playing the game of “how can I be fast and good?” is a game worth playing.

Cons

It’s remote, which comes with challenges.

Pros

True Classic is easily one of the best launchpads for your career. You’re surrounded by some of the most talented, driven, and technically sharp people in the industry, and that alone levels you up fast. It doesn’t operate like a traditional apparel company at all, it is a tech company that happens to sell clothing. Every team is incredibly data-driven, AI-native, and constantly experimenting. No matter what department you’re in, you’re using cutting-edge tools and thinking in a highly analytical, modern way. The company is always testing, always pushing boundaries, and genuinely operates at the forefront of ecom. The leadership team sets a high bar and consistently pushes everyone to get 1% better every day. That mindset isn’t just talk... It becomes part of how you work and how you grow personally. You’re not just getting better at your job, you’re becoming better in your craft overall. The founders and leadership are deeply passionate and involved. You can feel that energy across the company, and it creates a culture where people care a lot about what they’re building. If you’re someone who wants to move fast, learn fast, and work on exciting, high-impact problems every day, this is an incredible place to be. You’ll never be bored & your career will be made.

Cons

It’s a very fast-paced environment. You’re operating at the tip of the spear, so things move quickly and expectations are high. If you’re looking for something more relaxed or predictable where you can just clock in and out, this isn’t the right fit.

Pros

True Classic is a high growth eComm-native brand that is now growing globally across many different channels from DTC to Amazon to Wholesale to Retail to company-owned Retail Stores. If you want to push yourself and your career to new levels of knowledge, experience and build the reps knowing mistakes will happen and things will break, but you won't be fired over it, then TC is the place for you. I say that because we are growing as a business geographically and from a product portfolio basis. We are also growing into an AI-first, tech-enabled business that I haven't seen almost anywhere. You will be expected to use Claude and take your capabilities and productivity to heights you never imagined possible. You will create new ways of doing things and new ways of evaluating opportunities. You will try new things and we don't expect perfection and we don't care about being right. We care about getting it right and we know that takes iteration and risk. If you want everything handed to you on a platter with world class SaaS products that are purpose built for every department in the company, your expectations won't be met. And that's not a bad thing; that's a good thing. Why? Because you'll be given the tools and the technology needed to build your own purpose built solutions and not be limited to what some off-the-shelf software supports and be limited to a multi-year agreement you can't exit. You will have the freedom and expectation to be a builder and you will be the CEO of your own domain.

Cons

It's a lot of work and if you can't figure out how to build leverage for yourself and your teams using AI then you will find yourself working a lot of hours trying to keep up and you won't be happy. If you want a job where your responsibilities are always going to be exactly what the JD said when you got hired, then you'll also be disappointed. Companies that grow at our pace are doing so because new channels, new categories, new fulfillment methods are popping up left and right and that means we will try new things that weren't envisioned when you were hired. You need to be flexible, adaptable, intelligent, scrappy and have a willingness to say "I don't know how to do that, but I'm going to go talk to Claude and I will figure it out." If you're timid, not willing to stretch yourself or looking for a 9-5 and not think about work after 5pm then True Classic isn't for you.
