Pros

The people are literally the only pro.

Cons

Where to even start..... The sales department in this company is absolutely miserable. I cannot speak to other departments, but the sales department is stuff made of nightmares. They lie to hire people and then place them under quotas that not a single person can reach. Almost everyone resorted to creating fake accounts and those that didn't got lectured because their numbers were low. There are continues meetings with the entire department where jobs are threatened. Jobs of those who work hard, but are asked to do the impossible. Most of the managers are jokes that watch YouTube videos all day. The turnover rate speaks for itself. They have lost over 3/4 of the team within a seven month period. To add to the pile, the salary is a joke. During the hiring process they tell you that most of your money will be coming from commissions, but this is just another lie.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We make every effort to address Nomsters' concerns and are working to ensure that our team is aligned in meeting our goals and objectives. The feedback provided during exit interviews and on Glassdoor is invaluable and we have begun implementing programs to make changes in how we do things. It will take some time for us to see how we are progressing and we are looking forward to seeing the results of the changes that we have begun to implement. Best, Annalynn

Pros

Free healthy snacks up the wazoo. Seriously, you'll never go hungry here because of all of the great snacks. You're always the first to try new snacks and can grab a pack whenever you get the munchies. People are friendly and everyone really loves the brand. I joined the team when it was only about 20 people so everyone helped out when we needed people packing boxes or doing customer service work. It was actually kind of fun. Salary is definitely fair and competitive.

Cons

Beware what the execs tell you when interviewing. I was told that I'd be able build my own team and promised a lot of things that were never delivered. I was told working independently was essential because everyone was so busy. However, at the end of the day, I was being micro managed and not given any form of autonomy. People were being hired without me ever interviewing them myself (even when I was told I would be able to) so that just led to a semi odd atmosphere at times. A lot of things the company needed, the execs would ignore even if it was something essential
