Pros

100% ability to work from home. CTO is a great leader and manager. Opportunities to take on interesting projects. Smart coworkers.

Cons

No funding. High turnover in marketing and finance position reporting into the CEO. CTO just resigned. CEO is inconsistently engaged; disrupts progress when present.

Thank you for your feedback. QLess closed a $3.5M funding less than 4 months ago (see press release). In the fall of 2015, QLess made a significant upgrade to the marketing staff to meet the demands of our expansion and growth. Historically, the finance department has always been outsourced so that the savings could be spent in the continued development of our platform. Yet with our continued growth, we recently opened our first requisition for a full-time CFO. As CEO of a company with QLess’ growth, I do have to spread myself across many departments as we continue to grow our team and operations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. As for disruption --everything we do at QLess is about disrupting the status quo. People had been standing in line for thousands of years until we came around to disrupt that! We have and will continue to have an outstanding CTO. To the title of your review: nobody was ever laid off at QLess in our entire company history, a fact that not even Google or Apple can boast of. In closing, all earned bonuses have been paid. With the current growth rate of over 100% a year, revenue retention over 100%, employee retention over 90%, and over 1,600 years returned to over 60,000,000 users in 5 continents, QLess’ numbers speak for themselves.

Pros

New leadership in place has really transformed QLess. The corporate politics that once used to exist are no longer a thing. Great place to work if you want to really test your skills in a not so start up, start up environment.

Cons

Because of the change in leadership, we are currently in a rebuilding status. I believe needing patience here is a must until all things have been fortified

Pros

Talented employees have come and go and I wish the new ones would stay. If leadership would change how they lead and manage the people, their attitude, there could be hope that the situation here would get better for the employees.

Cons

The leaders of this company have made poor decisions again and again like they never learned from past mistakes at all! They are also too arrogant to admit their mistakes, accept employees opinions and suggestions, so they have to avoid everything we had to say! They don’t treat us like we’re professionals, but like children that constantly need to monitor and control!! And that lead to employees suffocating and becoming miserable! It’s a toxic workplace! Good and talented employees come and go as quick as they joined the company! Management knows what the real problem here is but they can’t accept that their attitude is the problem! They allow people to leave and the employee turnover increasing! They kept insisting that’s it’s us who aren’t performing and doing our jobs hence the low pay and terrible benefits!
