Pros

I got paid regularly and got good PTO. My co-workers were some of the best people I ever worked with.

Cons

Gather round for some much-needed truth about the Truth Company. Firstly, let's address how all the reviews are 5 stars, say almost the same words, and everyone who posted them is marked as having worked there for less than 6 months. After one month of working at the Truth Company, you are required to post a glassdoor review and have to have the review checked by HR. As you can imagine, these reviews are biased and not fully honest. Next, let me cover the day to day at the Truth Company. The environment was an environment of fear. Everyday people feared that would be their last day. This was only cemented by the fact that management would fire people, and then pretend like they never existed and never alert employees to what happened. This was only worsened by the fact that if people ever spoke out against the company or asked questions about the company they were also immediately fired. Lastly, one of the worst things with the Truth Company... management. Management refused to own up to their mistakes and would always blame employees and use it as a reason to fire them. Management would directly tell you one day to do something and then the next day turns around and say they never said that. When employees reached out asking for better communication they were publically shamed by management. This built a culture of employees being terrified of management and always looking over their shoulder. Management also had no trust in their employees and when experts said "we shouldn't do that" they would ignore them do it, and in the end every time the expert would be right. They all follow this insane diet, the Thermo diet. When I didn't want to eat this way I was shamed over my food.

Pros

Fair, competitive wages. Great benefits with coverage/eligibility that begins shortly after being hired (no waiting months or even a year to qualify for benefits like other warehouse have offered in my employment history). Large monthly allowance provided to employees to spend on UMZU supplements to improve their health. Fun company events throughout the year (bbq's, holiday parties, bowling, etc). Company-paid lunches are provided much more often than other companies I've worked for have offered their warehouse staff. Great PTO package with accrual beginning almost immediately. The company promotes from within, many warehouse employees have received promotions into new roles, inside and outside of the warehouse. The company offers profit-sharing bonuses with warehouse staff when sales goals are met throughout the year. The way this company treats its employees is truly incredible; you will feel valued and supported.

Cons

The company is still somewhat small and growth takes time, so those who hope to have opportunities for promotions and new positions will have to be patient. As can be expected of a company that sells products directly to consumers, sales spike from Black Friday up until Christmas, resulting in calendar black-outs for requests for time off/vacation during that time - not going to be ideal for employees who expect to take a vacation during the holiday season. These aren't exactly cons, as they would apply to most jobs of this type, regardless of the company.
