First, I want to genuinely thank you for the feedback. It is extremely important for us to know when and where we are not meeting our own expectations. I agree that consistent and open communications from management enable our employees to understand the business reasons behind our decisions and goes a long way towards establishing trust. This is one of the reasons we have modified the structure of Town Hall meetings to include a detailed summary of our results from the previous month. It's our hope that as we share more information about Spoonflower's progress, our employees will become increasingly more aware of how their efforts - team and individual - make the difference to Spoonflower's success. I'm sorry your experience with Spoonflower was disappointing. I wish you all the best in your next role.

Pros

learning that this job is the worst and leaving

Cons

management will fire anyone if they personally don't like them, - which is everyone that dares to ask a question, fired for injuries caused in the workplace from total neglect of safety for employees lifting heavy weights for 8 hours straight- slipped discs and such like, formal warnings given for fixing machines as apparently even if it is simple fix and disrupting production we are not fit to fix them, zero flexibility with holidays, ignoring serious issues such as women's safety in the workplace (despite all female management), when approaching seniors about your concerns don't expect a reply , and further more if your human rights of freedom of speech will be questioned saying that no one is allowed to talk about work outside of work. no support of mental health issues. This company is a brutal machine whom claim online most of their fabrics are ethically sourced when in fact about 90% comes from china. they simply burn huge quantities of waste instead of recycling. Not a single bottle of the 100's we use per day is recycled. It's a mess

Pros

Apart from the management, the other people at work are nice. It's a shame they are not respected.

Cons

You are not treated like a human, only as a machine. They make you work through 39 degrees C, using hot machines, which is actually illegal in Berlin. The company is also dishonest and immoral. If you are desperate to work there make sure that you have Rechtsversicherung (legal insurance) or are a member of a workers union as many employees are having legal issues with them.

Thank you for your feedback. It sounds as if there is a lot that you are dissatisfied with, and I am sorry that is the case. Although it is difficult to work through all of your concerns online, there are a few areas I can address by providing factual information in response to the conclusions you are drawing. Safety is unequivocally the highest priority at Spoonflower. We work very hard to keep our employees safe and are proud of our safety program and safety record. As a print operation, certain serious hazards exist that we adequately eliminate or mitigate by installing the proper engineering controls and providing employees with the appropriate personal protective equipment and training on how to perform your daily work in a safe manner. During our hiring process, all candidates for positions within our Operations department are given a tour of the factory. We discuss in an open and transparent manner what it is like to work here. All employees, regardless of their position, are encouraged to immediately report any workplace conditions that they believe to be unsafe. Spoonflower looks into the matters promptly. We agree with you that our employees are the best! Indeed, we have high standards for performance and appreciate the collaborative environment in which our employees have created and thrived. Employees who are committed to sharing the achievement of our business goals and objectives are rewarded in many ways. We feel Spoonflower’s commitment to employee professional and career development is evident in all parts of the company. You will find that former Operations specialists have advanced to roles in Maintenance, Procurement, Accounting, and Higher Management. Most all of our Operations Supervisors, Team Leaders, and Ops Managers are promoted from within, so there are plenty of opportunities as well for those employees who want to stay and grow at Spoonflower. I am sorry that Spoonflower was not the right environment for you. There are many employees at Spoonflower who do not share your sentiments. We wish you all the best in your future career endeavors
