Pinemelon.com Reviews

-Poor choice in management; most of the people who hold management roles lack interpersonal, critical thinking, or leadership skills, and it SHOWS. These are people who show up for the paycheck and disregard any concerns or worries that their fellow team members might have. This has resulted in a low morale and respect amongst everyone who actually gets the work done. -Pay rates and the talk of raises are complete turn off for this company. This is a subject that is promised to be spoken about when it is asked about, but is quickly swept under the rug. Many of the original workers that helped build this start up company from the ground up have not even received their yearly review. When there is a review I guarantee it will be set up in a manner where getting a promotion or raise will be difficult. Ex.: "We appreciate your interest, but we will be taking a different route, we are excited to see what else you will be able to do here!" Asides from that, their current pay rate doesn't even help with the current inflation rate and cost of living costs Denver has skyrocketed to. -No room to grow. No future. Here you are here for one thing and one thing only, to be another cog in this machine. You will not be valued as an employee here, thus the high turnover rate. This company does not promote from within. This is place is only good if you are looking to make a quick and easy buck and bounce. This is why the culture here is dying. -The main goal of this company is to sell to another entity. While Alexey, the CEO of Pinemelon has been successful in starting and cementing his businesses in his country of Kazakhstan, (Arbuz.biz, Ticketon.kz, and Aviata.kz) the rules work differently in the US where capitalism reigns and hundreds of thousands of similar companies have saturated the market, with identical goals. The company has fallen short of its predicted outcomes and has to constantly promote weekly promotions in order to attract new customers and hopefully keep their loyal customer base.
