Pros
The products are effective and well researched. The brand attracts talented employees. Good employee discount.
Cons
Greenwashed and completely profit driven. Unethical practices, lack of transparency and generally exploitative while touting an enlightened and stress relieving brand image. I was excited to work for a women led company, only to be faced with all the horrors of dealing with wealthy, majority white, mean girls looking to build an empire off of the LA spiritual scene. Corporate team lacks leadership skills, organization and basic business/relational tact. They promote a culture of fear based motivation and extreme entitlement. Their lack of proper planning and failure to solve basic issues leads to constant, avoidable emergencies and a highly stressful work environment. Does not value employees, especially at the retail level and expects a ridiculous amount of commitment, product knowledge and skill for the pay, you will often have to perform tasks way out of your pay grade or job description and with constantly shifting priorities the upper management is quite literally impossible to please. There is a clear difference in how they view their corporate vs their retail and commissary team and they make it apparent that they're more important than you. If you are mistreated by a superior, there is no course of action besides leaving the company because their "HR department" consists of one woman who is also the CFO. Their solution to all employee complaints is to fire them. They have a pattern of mistreating employees and business partners. During COVID-19 the corporate team hid away at home while pushing their workers to continue in unsafe conditions and when dozens of employees raised concerns they were swiftly all laid off. They then went on a press circuit and held giveaways to retain their image, deleted instagram comments from upset customers and employees and have failed to complete unemployment requirements for several employees.
