J2 Sourcing Reviews

The company has declined since the pandemic — overhiring followed by layoffs of experienced staff. Promotions and management roles often go to friends or relatives instead of qualified employees. Gossip and internal politics create a toxic and stressful environment. Lack of transparency and accountability in decision-making. Low morale due to favoritism and poor leadership communication.

The sales team often distances themselves from responsibility, regularly saying things like “I’m sales, that’s not my job”, which can make collaboration difficult and frustrating—especially when management tends to back them regardless. The work becomes repetitive fast. You’re often doing the same tasks over and over again, which can feel monotonous and unchallenging over time. Entry-level salaries are worryingly low, especially considering how much responsibility juniors can have. Meanwhile, there are significant pay gaps that don’t always reflect performance or contribution. After the acquisition of BC, the company lost much of its flexibility—the very thing that made J2 Sourcing such a unique and attractive place to work. It now feels more like you’re working for the system, rather than the system working for you. There's a lot more red tape and admin-heavy processes.
