Pros

Some coworkers are nice before they inevitably leave for a better opportunity You get donuts or lunch, rarely

Cons

There is no opportunity for promotion, they will always fill leadership roles by hiring from outside the company They no longer give raises higher than 2% annually They have taken away many amenities such as the massage chair room, weekly breakfast from Panera on Fridays, company-wide events and cruises Constantly short-staffed from people leaving Production and performance has slowed and is blamed on employees rather than on poor management for forcing employees to seek work elsewhere A budget proposal must be submitted to request the smallest improvement to your working environment Work culture has become uncomfortable and toxic

I'm sorry to hear that you are no longer enjoying your experience with the company. I would welcome a conversation with you if you would like to reach out. I find most of your feedback to be in-accurate from my perspective and I would be very interested to discuss with you so I can better understand you concerns and use your feedback to improve the company for the benefit of all our team members that are here. In regard to the critical feedback on pay: That is completely wrong on the percentage amount of raises. 2% would be for an employee who is under performing or completely topped out in their role and not interested/capable of expanding their ability. Our average wage increase is significantly higher than 2%. Middle to higher performers and employees who are expanding skills and roles are getting significant raises. We are constantly evaluating the market and our goal is to be very competitive when it comes to pay for similar roles & positions in the market. We consistently promote from within. In fact, our 2 most recent management roles that opened up were filled by internal rather than external candidates. In regard to the massage chair room: The chairs were moved to the game and entertainment rooms as the massage chair space had to be converted to an office. You are more than welcome to use the massage chairs in those spaces. All companies have to focus on being efficient and continuously drive improved results. We consistently raise expectations for the benefit of our all our team members. We have an obligation to push the company forward and we are always going to try to raise the bar. We would never blame poor production on the employees as we are all on the team together. If your manager or supervisor is only blaming his/her employees and that is causing low morale in your department, then let me know who your supervisor or manager is, and I will have a frank discussion with him or her. It is on all of us as a team to produce results and any poor performance blame would be shared by us all. In regard to the budget approval process: You supervisor or manager will be happy to look at any request and not everything has to go through a budget approval process. I would be interested to hear what you claim is being denied. As far as I know, all reasonable requests are being filled with little to no pushback. In regard to company events: We have a significant budget for departmental events, and we have pushed many of the decisions for company breakfast / lunches (e.g. Panera on Fridays) down to the department managers. I can tell you we have significant funds going to employee team building, lunches and training at the department level. Since I don't know what department you are in, I can't really comment on your department's company breakfast or lunches. We do offer remote work in some departments depending on the role. You are welcome to make a request to your manager or supervisor and they can evaluate your request. If you were turned down on your request, then your department is not a department where we are offering remote work at this time, or your manager didn't see it as a good fit for the company due to potential performance concerns. As mentioned, I would encourage you to reach out to me if you care to discuss and want to help to move the company forward. - Dave C./CEO

Pros

Great department leadership and and caring owner. It has been YEARS since I worked there when there location was in longwood and I just wanted to come back and say this... This company gave me the marketing knowledge to run my own company when I left. I am partnered with a former Online Labels employee for my nonprofit, today. I cannot thank you guys enough for the knowledge you passed onto me in all departments. From customer service, to shipping and warehouse operations, to marketing, to programming, to access to all management and the Owner... You guys provided a wealth of knowledge and I use your advice gathered to this very day in my own operations.

Cons

There were honestly no cons to working here.
