Pros

- True work/life balance and remote culture (never expected to work after hours/weekends) - Very thoughtful founders who are deeply invested in every area of the business, from culture, to brand, to product, & beyond. I appreciate their inclusiveness, willingness to collaborate, and high standards for their business. - Small but mighty team I look forward to working with everyday. - A product development approach unlike any other skincare brand - feels good to work with knowledgable people who actually care what customers are putting on their skin. - Room to grow in my professional development, with support from founders on goal-setting, success metrics, etc - Free products :) my skin is glowing

Cons

- Small team means we don't have endless resources to throw at our ambitious goals - but we're getting there - Founder-led company means lots of strong opinions in the room at times

Pros

Vermont brand with the credibility to play at a national scale. Certified B Corp that puts the planet and people alongside profit, plenty of company-led volunteer opportunities. The products are truly wonderful and have been developed with a lot of care and intention. I attach a lot of importance to being able to stand behind the brand/product I am working to promote and UM definitely delivers on the promise of clean and effective products. There is lots of dynamic work to go around so if you are someone that enjoys rolling up your sleeves and taking ownership you can definitely take on exciting new projects and workstreams. Flexible working model for the foreseeable future - a mix of WFH and working from the office in Waterbury.

Cons

There can tend to be meetings about meetings (perhaps developed as a result of working from home during COVID and lack of in-person collaboration). The pace of some projects can feel slow despite an entrepreneurial environment. There are some clear bandwidth constraints within certain functions of the business.
