Uncommon Goods reviews

UncommonGoods is a company that cares deeply about their team members…except when they don’t. Once a manager decides that you’re not part of the club or essential to the future of the brand, they’ll do anything to force you out, including, but not limited to: Setting you up to fail through arbitrary or half-baked direction, micro-managing you to an effective halt, and threatening you with poorly documented performance issues. Make no mistake: Everyone—with the possible exception of upper management—is expendable. This may be the harsh reality of business in general, but it’s not in keeping with UncommonGoods’ do-good focus on its people (which the company crows about every chance it gets). And if you do find yourself in a dispute with your manager, don’t expect the company’s laughably incompetent HR department to do anything about it (except amaze you with their ineptitude and poor communication). The Founder/CEO and some managers are deeply dedicated to the company and have very good intentions, but the culture that’s emerged despite their dedication is uncommonly toxic in my experience.

your hard work and effort go unrecognized unless you are friends with people in management
