Pros

The culture is relaxed and very friendly. Everyone is willing to take time out to help. There's always a new interesting problem that you can take on. You're encouraged to move about the teams and find things that you think need solving.

Cons

Since there is so much freedom, getting consensus on technical issues can be a challenge depending on the team or sub-team. There is a lot of focus on satisfying users goals and perhaps not enough drive to solve technical dept issues. Since everyone will be so friendly, it may be hard for you to voice your disagreement with a group unless you have an outgoing personality. When you do, though, everyone remains friendly and receptive.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. I agree -- we have a great group of people who work on solving technology problems who have built an amazing culture. I wholeheartedly agree on balancing feature development with platform stability. Over the last 14 months we have focused on that effort and we have made great progress. We appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your time at Trunk Club!

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
