Pros

There are absolutely no pros.

Cons

Very very very unorganized company. No training program, it's pretty much a free for all and you are taught to do the same thing 5 different ways by 5 different people and then are told you are doing it wrong. Definition of micro management. Every single email and call you send is reviewed critiqued by management and since there is no training program and you are taught everything differently you then get talked to and in trouble. If you want to see discrimination in the workplace then work here. The sales team is not a team, and the work environment is very negative and hostile. You would think there would maybe be one positive thing here but no, received a $10k pay cut to hire new employees (who are all friends and worked together at the same company the new sales manager is from) who are getting paid more than someone who has been with the company for over 2 years. Commissions are based on monthly sales revenue and updates are provided weekly and then later change by management at the end of each month and told they calculated the numbers wrong which just has somehow happened each month for the past 3 months resulting in no commissions paid out. Avoid at all costs!!

Pros

Tradewind is a great employer that offers tons of benefits and monthly lunch for all employees. All the people are super friendly and easy to get along with. Great work/life balance.

Cons

None so far as I have only been employed a few months. Feels like a startup culture which is great but growing very fast.

Pros

Unfortunately, I struggled to find any meaningful positives during my time with the company. While every workplace has its challenges, this environment made it difficult to identify any truly beneficial aspects worth highlighting.

Cons

There was a lack of consistency in communication—expectations and directives changed daily. The company often made promises during recruitment that didn’t reflect the reality of the job. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism and nepotism, where advancement seems to be based more on personal connections than on merit or performance. Concessions and preferential treatment are routinely made for certain individuals. Ethical standards are questionable at best, and several practices could raise serious concerns if ever reviewed by agencies like the Department of Labor or the EEOC. Unfortunately, while this should be motivation to implement necessary changes, there seems to be little interest in genuine accountability.
