Pros

Some of the best co-workers you will work with. Company stands for "good morals". Co-workers usually create events to bring up morale amongst each other to brighten up the bad environment provide by management.

Cons

Good morals is only for the A-side which is for office work, B- side is the warehouse where you will work a lot because they don't hire much help cause they are sticklers to saving money and you will see it in the equipment and hiw many year round seasonals that work hard for nothing all year. Management will use shady business practices to keep you out of a position or out of a job. Sexual misconduct is a big secret with management and HR plus HR is really not on the side of the average worker. To be honest i believe the CEO has no idea what really goes on the B-side. EXTREME CAUTION if you decide to work there for whatever reason. They would have so many legal troubles if those poor workers knew their rights.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and suggestions with us. We agree that our team members are terrific and we strive to create a positive, uplifting work environment. We are sorry to hear that was not your experience at UncommonGoods and that you did not feel there was consistency in our management practices across the business. We have just completed Preventing Harassment training for managers and team members across the company, with 100% participation. This is something we take very seriously and we work hard to ensure we abide by legal and ethical business practices. With our entire company operating under one roof, our Founder and CEO spends a considerable amount of time walking the floors, engaging with all team members and has even spent many hours/days working in the warehouse during our busiest time of the season. We take this feedback very seriously and will continue to work with our managers and team members to review and improve our workplace practices, creating the most positive working experience for all team members. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and thank you for your efforts during your time at UncommonGoods.

Pros

The year round ream is really friendly and helpful. Training is awesome and you’re partnered with a coach to help you continue to learn and get better. It’s clear that they made an effort to make sure that each team member felt valued.

Cons

Seasonal. Not enough hours scheduled to get all the work done, which stresses everyone, even the managers, out.

I'm glad to hear that our easy-going nature suited you and that you enjoyed assisting our customers. I am disappointed to hear that our management team did not seem consistently nice regardless of our seasonal demand. Our Customer Service team relies heavily on metrics to understand how our representatives are serving our customer, which should make sure that we have our high performers stay on for as long as possible. I appreciate you sharing this feedback and will check in with our CS Managers to ensure that our process is thoughtful and continues providing our customers with the award-winning customer service that they deserve. Best, Seam
