Pros

The companies mission and goals are amazing

Cons

Nepotism is very apparent - family members paid exceptionally more. Was made to work evenings and weekends unpaid and under appreciated. The founders don’t care about your mental well-being - only about themselves. They will make you feel like you’re the problem. Results in a VERY fast turnover of staff and unhappy team.

Pros

Pay wasn't terrible as a uni student. The managers were cool.

Cons

It felt like those on the shop floor were "disrespected" at times by people in office. Very us vs. them. Sometimes had issues with pay. Communication wasn't always the greatest. Needed better things in place for Black women who were working on the shop floor and sometimes had people making fun of the hair textures on display.

Pros

Given lots of responsibilities from day 1 with limited hierarchy and aren't micromanaged. Very diverse team - opposite to the whole 'tech bro' scene. Great mission and values.

Cons

It's super fast paced and can be long hours but not unexpected for a venture-backed start up which has big goals.
