Pros

The only pro to working at this place, is they have good coffee...but, no creamer or sugar. I guess we are supposed to supply our own.

Cons

Where to start? I will start with management...it sucks! The owner/art director is either OCD or manic...maybe both. She is not a good business person at all...she is only focused on making money and pushing the employees like sled dogs. She runs the place like a pre-school. She has meetings every Wednesday...where you get a gold star if you are on time, a gold star if you worked hard that week, etc...please..gold stars? who cares? give us a living wage, and keep your gold stars! She is compulsive about the advertising...she is only advertising on Facebook, but acts like every ad is a cover of Vogue or Cosmopolitan. These are Facebook ads that are seen for maybe 3 seconds and are changed weekly...get off it...learn a little bit about marketing and communication! Also...her product and website are for people over the age of 80...her website looks like a retirement home site, and her products are from grandma's attic!

Pros

I was able to continue working as a consultant even after moving into the city. Having this flexibility and opportunity to work independently is the biggest plus for me. Management also goes the extra mile to give the resources and mentorship that keep us moving forward.

Cons

There is really nothing major in terms of downsides, can be challenging but so is any other job

Pros

If you are in need of a quick paycheck - resume builder - stepping stone for your next job.... this job will do just that. You get to wear many "hats" - use this to build your resume for your next job. Great - if you need flexibility on your hours or only need part time work. If you love drama and gossip - you'll probably fit right in. And if you like working extra hours and coming in on the weekends for a "flash" sales ... well you'll get the chance here.

Cons

Management is terrible. There is absolutely no consistency on rules, guidelines, product production, and packaging/shipping. The gossip and bulling mentioned in other reviews are spot on unfortunately... There is no room for growing in this company since there is no structure at all. It's been a "start up" company for a while now... they have no excuses anymore. Raises are promised and never filled. I've read the negative reviews and they may seem harsh but they are sadly true. If you do decide to work here just take it with the intention of not staying long and don't invest yourself into this company because the favor won't be returned. If you do invest yourself be ready to be emotionally and mentally drained.

Flexibility, fun and hardly a rigid structured environment that some find to be lacking in management. We absolutely look at ourselves each and everytime that issues or problems arise. We don't put blame on others, we look at ourselves, on how to improve. Thanks for the advise here, we will take it and grow. Hope you find happiness.
