Pros

Free lunches once a week.

Cons

HORRIFIC LEADERSHIP The CEO is the classic story of a founder who is unable to transition from a good story teller/salesman to a high growth company leader. He hires “yes men and women” into his C-suite only to play favorites to the ones that do his bidding and pushes out others who actually know what they are doing. The other two founders throw wrenches in any project they can get involved in to pretend like they have a say. HYPOCRITICAL VALUES A wellness company that doesn’t value its employees' wellness. It was the most unhealthy and toxic environment I’ve ever seen. The company proclaims that they value “physiological safety” when they will fire a 15-person creative team in one sitting. They also used the pandemic as an excuse to cut down teams while they experienced growth. No empathy or care was shown either during BLM. UNORGANIZED CHAOS The company changes directions and priorities on a weekly basis. The CEO micromanages every creative that goes out and doesn’t bother to listen to data. He pushes teams at the end of every month, to make their numbers focusing on the short term bottom line rather than long term strategy. DON’T DO IT HR and the CEO have their sales pitch down when it comes to recruiting. You see the potential and want to make your mark on the brand. Save yourself and DO NOT JOIN. I regret wasting so much time here and taking a step backwards in my career because of it. It’s known industry-wide that this is a bad place to be. You won’t get any points for passing through. Trust me.

I've had the opportunity to collaborate with a talented and supportive team. The work is meaningful and I appreciate being part of a company focused on improving people's health and wellness. Leadership encourages innovation and the fast paced environment allows me to expand my skills.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly which leads to fast changing priorities and processes that are evolving.

Pros

The most frustrating part is that the product itself is genuinely good.

Cons

The most disorganized company I've ever worked for. Leadership lacks both managerial experience and basic leadership skills. Project management is virtually nonexistent because even the smallest decisions require endless rounds of approvals from people who have nothing to do with the project, slowing everything to a crawl. As a result, projects, questions, and simple copy that should take a day end up dragging on for months or years, especially for larger-scale decisions. The company has kept a small group of people in leadership roles since the beginning, and instead of bringing in experienced managers, they continue to create new management titles for the same individuals. For a majority of them, this was their first professional job, and it shows. Career growth is nonexistent, and the culture was equally disappointing. People throughout the company are unnecessarily rude and cliquish, making it difficult to get responses or get anything done. HR is no help; they will just join the gossip. They're shockingly disconnected from current digital trends and online culture (and it's only gotten worse). There was an overwhelming focus on creating lengthy reports and presentations that never translated into meaningful action. Innovation is slow, trends are often ignored, and customer feedback rarely seems to influence decisions. They'll go under eventually, and it will entirely be their management team's fault.
