Pros

The pros I have for this job are the slide, the summer hours and the people I met. The people I met were very nice and I made life long friends here. The owners are very nice as well and seem down to earth.

Cons

While the people there are nice, it doesn’t change the fact there are major problems. I’ve worked here for two years as an intern and full time and there are so many problems within the company. Management is very poor and no matter how many times I brought up my concerns, management would constantly shrug it off until the problem came back to bite them back. My team and I constantly felt understaffed and when asked if we can have help we were either promised help from the warehouse team and never fulfilled that promise or we were told we didn’t need another person despite one of the team members being on temporary leave. Managers also would make changes to the department despite not understanding how it would affect the work flow or how the work flow even works. There is a clear favoritism within in departments and often times my team felt like we were left in the dust. When asked for supplies or features to improve on the area such as better lighting, it fell on deaf ears. The pay was not that great and I actually got a pay cut when I transferred into full time, maybe it was my department I was transferring into, but HR decreased my pay when I was hired full time. The sales and business may be great and I can’t doubt it, but it’s a ghost town and there are people doing the work of multiple people. The office feels so empty to what it once was it’s really depressing and devoid of life. There was no room to grow at least in my department and those who were seniors had the same title as an associate despite being in the company long, there was no way to differentiate us. I was constantly set up for failure by my manager and felt belittled.

This is a surprising review since you actually referred your close friend to work for our company whom we hired based on your recommendation to work temporarily in the same department. You applied for an open position following your internship with a clear rate of pay and were given a written offer which you accepted including rate of pay along with our exceptional benefits package of 25 paid days off and holidays and 75% paid health insurance coverage and more. We appreciate your feedback, however we do not agree that you were forthright regarding your experience with our company. I do understand there was another position you were looking to be placed in, and I am sorry it was not the right fit. However, I do not feel it warranted the erroneous content that you wrote above. We do wish you much success in your new position and thank you for your service for the past 2 years and for your participation on our culture committee to promote employee engagement and wellbeing.

Pros

I recently started but so far I love it! Everyone is very welcoming, genuine, supportive, and my team is amazing. Training was wonderful and professional. From what I see, this company really cares about their employees and their career growth but also encourages everyone to have a work-life balance which is hard to find in other companies.

Cons

Honestly, no cons come to mind.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a positive review. Many times in life, people take time to write when they are upset versus when they are happy. We like good reviews of course. On a personal note, I am so happy to hear that you are happy here so far. We try to be super inclusive, welcoming, and focused on growth and career paths of our team members. Again, much appreciated.

Pros

The people here are what make this company extraordinary. From day one, I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Everyone is incredibly kind, helpful, and always willing to lend a hand — whether you’re new or have been here for years. It’s rare to find a workplace where coworkers feel more like family, but that’s exactly the culture here. There’s a shared sense of respect, encouragement, and collaboration that makes even the busiest days enjoyable. It’s a place where you’re seen, appreciated, and never made to feel like just a number.

Cons

Honestly, not many. Every company has its challenges, but when you’re surrounded by people who care, even those moments are easier to handle.

This is such a nice review. I love it not only because it is a positive review (which I do like reading of course), but because you have felt welcomed and cared for from day one. Our teams really become close friends, and we have people from every walk of life, and that makes us so much better, I am so glad to hear you are happy, and you know my office is always wide open for any suggestions, thoughts, or even constructive feedback.
