Very little direction but great at layoffs

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people all were great to work with and they put a lot of effort into their social events.

Cons

Leadership and management seem to be there for their “contributions” but very little is known about what the company does and wants to do. The company seems to keep the bad ones around and the good ones get laid off and then it’s the same rinse and repeat.

Leaf Group Response

As it sounds like you were a former employee, we are happy that you found our people great to work with. That hasn't changed. As for our mission and what we do, we ensure through weekly email newsletters what we along with the brands are doing. We also have had no layoffs during these last challenging months.

Lack of Diversity & Inclusion at Well and Good

Decided not to disclose

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

HQ seems to take care of their people.

Cons

Well and Good's leadership is toxic. If I had to compare their business model, and the types of "employees" and pedigree they hire, it would be comparable to Refinery29s toxic culture. With the majority of the employees being caucasian women, I strongly believe the group lacks diversity and inclusion. I am surprised nobody has called out their leadership team for their ignorance for not hiring well-qualified people of color during my time there so far. There out there! you just refuse to hire them. Also, can someone please comment on why the handful of employees of color were let go?

Pros

Decent health insurance, pretty good pay.

Cons

Leadership and management aren't really in alignment. Very "Bro" atmosphere and you can definitely see where the clicks are formed. Unfortunate actually because their suite of products have great potential.

Leaf Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to review us. As you are former employee, not sure how long it's been since you've worked at Leaf Group but our senior leaders are part of our management team so alignment is essential. In most recent times, our team has gathered as a whole to support each other - something we are extremely proud of. We do agree our products have great potential and the people at Leaf Group today work very hard to help maximize that potential on a daily basis.
