Pros
Junior staff and lower-level leadership work extremely hard to keep the company afloat despite numerous challenges.
Cons
Aforementioned colleagues have to work with horrifically inadequate resources, among them an IT/systems nightmare and corrupt suppliers. Salaries are embarrassingly below market value, no doubt a reason the company has thus far failed to comply with NYC’s new salary transparency laws. Recent layoffs coincided with new, lower salary bands being announced. I regularly watched a member of senior leadership bully others in meetings, and this individual has been protected by HR for years. PTO is often tacitly ignored by leadership and email responses are an unsaid expectation. But don’t worry, you can watch a shrill woman teach yoga from her living room as one of the nine meetings on your calendar on Thursdays. Flowers, while being colorful and fun, are also a hugely wasteful and environmentally damaging industry. The company is doing nothing to combat this at any level.
