Pros

Compensation was fair; benefits ok; occasional bonuses were common but typically in reaction to to employee unrest due to overworked hours and requests to do tasks that are outside of a job description

Cons

Owner/founder of the company is too involved in day to day operations and sets policies that can feel culty and misplaced; CEO at the time was mostly fine but for one policy that required “all” employees to login to a sales queue to manually take orders over the phone when volume surged, regardless of job title, description of status - or at least that was what was communicated. In reality, this became a tool for punishing and rewarding some employees, giving the appearance of special treatment or in some cases outright discrimination and those of us that did login would then have all the same work to do but less time to do it with less ability to do focused work on the tasks and projects we were actually hired to do.

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m empowered to make my own decisions without being second-guessed, which allows me to truly drive meaningful change. The team I work with is phenomenal—collaborative, supportive, and passionate. I feel like I’m making a real impact every day and contributing to something that’s scaling in a big way. It’s rare to find a role where you have both autonomy and influence, and I’m grateful to be part of it

Cons

Staffing can be a real challenge. Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be. You wear many hats such as food catering and procurement can be especially demanding in busy seasons. The business is market-driven, the volume swings can be intense. It’s tough to staff appropriately without putting strain on the team. Still, if you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving tough problems, there’s a lot of opportunity here.
