Toxic. Outdated. All they care about it profit. - Marketing Adventure Ready Brands Employee Review

If you want a place where you can come in, drive meaty projects and make real business impact, this is the place for you. There are tons of opportunities to help the company grow, improve efficiency, or build something completely new. The company is very supportive of creative thinking and if you have a solid business case for something, your plans can become reality very quickly. The team I work with is one of my favorite parts of ARB. People don't have egos and aren't territorial about projects - everyone really feels like they are here to help one another and drive impact. There is little to no politics here - just a great group of really hard-working people. The senior leadership team also has great drive and ambitions, and they will push you to be your best. They are happy to mentor and help you grow in your career in ways I have not seen from other leaders in previous roles. Again - this is not for everyone but if you really want people who will help push you to grow this is an amazing spot to be.

If you are looking for a 9-5 where you log in and log out doing the same thing every day - this is not the place for you. We all need to do our part on the team to achieve the big goals we have as a company. I find this to be exciting but I know it wouldn't be the right environment for everyone.

If you are local to Littleton, ARB is centrally located. Outside of the marketing team, it seems there is strong cohesion around members of the team that are working in the warehouse and production lines.

My experience at ARB was a poor one to say the least. Starting with the onboarding process, there is little to no formal onboarding structure. I simply received an email with links to various shared drive folders with no guidance or instruction on when/how/why to utilize these tools. The VP of Marketing that leads the core group of ABMs even commented in my first few weeks how she had neglected to provide adequate assistance during a peak time of her own workload, but did no follow up at any point when things slowed down in her own workload. SOPs are unclear to say the least, and daily tasks has little to no formal procedures to follow to ensure proper execution. ARB considers themselves a data driven organization however they do not have any sort of data visualization tools and are reliant on the execution of manual uploads into antiquated tools that opens up room for errors across users and versions and filters. Leadership indicates growth opportunities within the marketing structure however there is little to know definition on how to grow within the organization. Skip Level/Level up feedback is nonexistant and 1:1 sessions lack any sort of critical feedback on how to improve/grow in your role. My personal feeling is that a limited candidate pool has forced the CMO to become reliant on their VP of Marketing to be a single point of failure who is not interested in properly delegating meaningful tasks to their team in an effort to create a streamlined work environment. The VP lacks soft skills to drive engagement within the team and openly speaks down to other members of the team across departments. In one instance, I wanted to recognize a team member for their efforts in assisting my onboarding and I was told their impacts were not relevant and shouldn't consider their work as providing meaningful impact. Additionally, this VP openly speaks down about other employees regarding their level of education, professional backgrounds and other character traits that are not aligned with her own background (on one occasion she spoke about an employee indicating "well, they only have a high school education so keep that in mind."
