Pros
Great community with teams. Certain individuals who are not sucking up to the CEO are actually genuine and smart.
Cons
If you have passion for something but lacks the brain cells to run a successful business, you should just stay home and collect shoes for your pretty shelf. This company, when put in a right context, is such a great concept for the sneakerheads like us. But, this can only last so long with someone with no knowledge of how a business should run. One unnecessary “team-bonding” conference and so many other “look what we did at this event”-events, the company is completely dry of money. For the time I have been with this company, I have seen rounds and rounds of layoffs with the CEO blaming this solely on the current economy when the whole company knows that’s not the case. I’ve seen so many of my dear teammates and friends let go from this company while others have gained promotion. He thinks he is doing a great job at deceiving everyone when he’s clearly not good at anything in his position. Not to mention that this CEO was cursing in front of the whole company when his written announcements on Slack were not getting emojis, when people didn’t have their webcams on, or when the employees didn’t leave fake reviews for our own app while he was out of the country asking for investments for the company (that he probably used on unnecessary events). Yes- I can say that we are now not only forced to turn our webcams on during our meeting, but also to leave 5-star reviews for our own outsourced app. Another layoff happened yesterday to some people. Within a group of people here, we always talk about who will be next and when. We are all shaking in fear of this tyranny and job insecurity. Bunch of us are already looking elsewhere for a job right now wanting an out. There is no vision or future in this company whatsoever. I will give it another year or so before it crumbles. If this company really wants to see another day of light, the CEO needs to step down. TO ANYONE WHO WAS APPROACHED FOR A POSITION, if you read this review and still think you will like this company, I don’t know what more I can do for you as an insider. If you want, you can take my position and suffer here instead.
