Pros

They have healthcare. You'll need it.

Cons

I used healthcare as a pro because this place will make you physically sick, depressed, and leave you on the verge of a breakdown. The management is toxic and callous. I can tell you that I know the developer that left the other review and he's spot on about everything. I'd say that the CEO is another Travis Kalanick.

Qless Response

Notice how every review from current employees is 4 or 5 stars, with an average of 4.7 stars? And how reviews from terminated employees tend to give 1 star? Draw your own conclusions. It seems QLess is an awesome place to work at, and that it's not a good place for poor performers. The person who wrote this review was terminated due to bad performance. We don't terminate many people so it's easy to tell-- Indeed, if you don't perform and you don't like to work, you won't be happy at QLess. This particular person actually asked to keep working here, so all he is angry about is not being able to work here anymore. That's normal. Sherrie Bourg Carter, psychologist and workplace expert, writes "Most fired people report feeling a whirlwind of emotions, but the most typical are denial, shock, sadness, anxiety and anger." (The Psychology of Being Fired, US News & World Report, 2014). Let me give readers some facts: 1. 100% employee retention throughout 2017 2. We survey the entire company anonymously every week. As of the last survey on Liberator (employee) happiness, last month, the most common answer was 8 out of 10. 3. We recently asked all of our employees how likely they would be to refer someone to work here. The most common response was 10 out 10. As you can see, QLess is a great place to work for current employees and high performers. Join the Liberation and talk to our current fellow Liberators to learn what they love at QLess!

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!
