Pros

Some (emphasis on some) of my team members were okay to work with.

Cons

Joined this company under Assembly Brands, which changed to Very Great. But boy was it a VERY BAD experience. With two white, out-of-touch men(boys) at the lead what should anyone expect? There is no process, no organization and definitely no sense of value. The start-up/young culture vibe shows with the immaturity of many employees who lead as directors. Lunch breaks were rare, and lunch was mostly had at my desk if I did take the break. Once, I helped a co-worker with personal business during my lunchtime and was taken aside and told to never do that again. Medical issues which I discussed with my director many times only became a problem at my reviews to put myself and my work down so I could not ask for a raise (when bonus’ were taken away due to founder’s poor planning, not my performance). Products are not tested properly and legal guidelines were ignored. If you are looking for a career or any sort of job, look else where, it’s a revolving door.

Pros

Only thing I can think of is beer on tap at the office

Cons

In the short time I worked here I was repeatedly shocked at how the company was run. Management and brand leaders have very little previous experience and for a majority of them this is their first job. They rely heavily on the backs of underpaid overworked employees to educate and pick up their slack while they get all the credit. Its not just a couple employees that have bad experiences, a majority of people that aren’t in a leadership positions views the company poorly. The retention rate is pathetic, most people leave after one year. Time and time they use the excuse that they’re a scrappy little “startup” when in reality they should be far from it. Be prepared to learn absolutely nothing and get overworked to the bone. Office culture? Cringe-worthy. Avoid this company when you can.

Pros

Company culture is the best I've seen. Head of People did a great job onboarding and my immediate team was very supportive.

Cons

Still a growing company, but that's part of joining in that growth phase!
