Pros

Working at KIND has been an amazing experience. Kind is not just in the name, but also how the team members choose to live their lives. The vibe is very entrepreneurial and everyone's opinion matters, regardless of position or career level within the organization. The company really cares about team members and their professional/personal growth. There's an open door policy so the leadership team is available to team members, which is rare in other companies. I've seen KIND grow a lot over the past 2 years and feel really lucky to be a part of this great organization.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

I guess equity. Probably made it fair based on the salary we were getting.

Cons

All your expected to do here is suck up to people. You are not rewarded by creativity or effort. HIGH bias and favoritism amongst leadership. NOT diverse. They only act like this is a goal of theirs. If your life isn’t about KIND, then KIND isn’t about you sadly. This makes it a very toxic work environment. Everyone that works there is a past friend, etc. If you’re not in the clique, then you’re not in. It’s that simple.

We’re disappointed to hear that this has been your experience as it’s not a reflection of the culture and values that we live everyday at KIND. We champion a diverse and inclusive work environment where team members have a voice and are expected to share their point of view. Team member feedback is crucial to our ongoing improvement and our door remains open for you to share more of your perspective. -KIND HR

Pros

1. Early career team members who are passionate about the company and its social mission 2. Free product shipments - while not monthly anymore, it’s still a really nice perk 3. Nice equity program if you got in at the right time 4. New CEO clearly in charge

Cons

1. Management turmoil - more than half the executive leadership team exited in the last few months, causing hope and lots of uncertainty 2. Unrealistic bonus targets - company continues to grow top line each year, but bonus targets are unachievable (haven’t had a full bonus in many years) 3. Chasing the share price - Mars deal was at an amazing share price, but this is now creating constant change and chaos to strive for a very high share price during deal time frame 4. Constant exodus of early career and mid-level employees is disheartening - turnover has been incredibly high in this time of change

It’s disappointing to learn about your experience. We’re excited by our new Leadership Team who has the capabilities to drive necessary change in alignment with our values, strengthen our organization and raise the bar on our performance. We set ambitious yet attainable goals, that are rewarding for all and motivate us to work together to get to the next level. KIND is more than just a snack - on the horizon for us is a robust innovation plan and continuing to spread kindness! We hope you’ll share more about your perspective and suggestions for improvement with your leadership team, and Mike’s door is always open. – KIND HR
