Pros

Employee discounts on all products.

Cons

Unfortunately, the experience I had at this company was quite poor. Management's communication with teams is horrendous. I've never seen a company be so consistently and drastically inaccurate when forecasting expected sales volumes; along with that- management waits until the last minute to make big decisions, which makes it extremely difficult to successfully and strategically plan. Multiple employees shared the sentiment that they were set up to fail, due to lack of timely direction. Working here feels like you are constantly just putting out fires while poor decision making from the top seems to set new fires daily. This company may end up successful due to the CEO's high profile/wealthy connections, but there is nothing unique/innovative the company is trying to do to set it apart from say, a much cheaper Bloom and Wild. Long way to go before this company lives up to the words "luxury flowers." Not worth the headache to work here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It’s always disappointing to hear someone has not had a positive experience so we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback so we can further understand different perspectives. Like many organisations, we’ve had to adapt to a number of external factors, and this has resulted in some changes within the business. Change can be unsettling for some, and we appreciate the importance of communication. We conduct weekly one to ones, team meetings and a monthly company All Hands to provide the team with updates and the opportunity to ask questions. We also conduct regular anonymous pulse surveys, and we were very happy with our recent quarterly eNPS score of 36. According to experts, anything above an eNPS score of 30 is excellent. Our focus remains on the quality of our product, and our pledge to ethical trading and sustainability is greater than ever. With many plans on the horizon, we are not only looking to improve upon what we already do, but remain industry-leading in new developments and best practices. Thanks again and we wish you all the best.

Pros

- Hybrid working model (lots of autonomy on when/where we work from when in-person) - Work/life balance and flexible scheduling (as a working parent of two young children this is major) - Team is an amazing mix of people from different personal and professional backgrounds - Exciting to work for an ever-changing business with new challenges and opportunities - Generous PTO and parental leave policies

Cons

- Very fast paced and high pressure (not a con, but requires the right type of employee and work ethic)
