Pros

-Free products that they no longer sell or don’t approve of -Moved to a better space recently

Cons

Where do I start? The people are cold and unwelcoming. They sell non-toxic skincare products which doesn’t match the people the hire. Very cliquey and snobby. By the way, if you’re looking for diveristy, you won’t find it here. They both market to and hire one kind of person- white women. Turn over is absurd. They fire people without even giving them a chance to improve. Imagine working somewhere thinking you’re doing your job and then they randomly fire you because you apparently weren’t. You think that’s bad? They’ve had multiple people uproot their entire lives to come work for them just to fire them 4-6 months in. I’m surprised they haven’t been sued yet. On the hiring topic, they hire and put the worst people in leadership positions. They pretty much pay people to act like they’re running departments but are actually god awful and doing absolutely nothing. I can’t count how many people have left and plan on leaving because it’s such a terrible culture. You’re never in the loop of what’s going on. I remember walking in and seeing a new person in my department and not even knowing we hired someone. It’s way too small of a company for that to be happening. Don’t work here unless the above sounds appealing to you. All the nice reviews are from management making employees say nice things.

Inspiring Mission, Unfortunate Culture

Pros

Meeting brand founders, customers who are passionate and loyal (evangelists for the company!), a woman-run business.

Cons

Lack of diversity in hiring, terrible communication and planning, any criticism or questioning of management's plans/ideas was treated as not being loyal or committed to the mission. Long hours in understaffed environments with little to no care for employee work-life balance.
