No opportunities for movement even if you express interest

Took some time but loving the growth especially with the clear vision to amplify optimism and to spread awareness on key topics. I.e. donations to great causes Leadership is very flexible - allows employees to choose wether they work from home or office.
Cons
Time to time being referenced to the old Kit and ace. Otherwise Leadership is working it’s way out of the start up phase

Pros
Amazing team of creatives to work with
Cons
At the time it had shifting priorities between quarters which made it difficult to hit the mark but I believe the company has been streamlined since 2017.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Kit and Ace is a small and gritty company filled with passionate employees. The people are friendly, hard-working and supportive. There is full transparency of what each department is working on and departments often collaborate. Personal and professional development is important at Kit and Ace and employees have the opportunity to set their own values, vision and goals. Kit and Ace is grounded in Amplifying Optimism and is always looking for new ways to support the communities surrounding their shops.
Cons
As Kit and Ace is a startup, certain projects take a bit longer to get off the ground. The HQ office is quite lean so a lot of roles are hybrid to cover the workload.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great work culture Great employee benefits
Cons
Product is expensive and pills
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
I have worked at Kit and Ace for a few years and its a great place to work. If you love job autonomy this is the place for you. Because of its size you have direct input to the company compared to larger organizations. Covid has been a difficult time for all of us and see leadership working hard to balance. New brand voice is authentic to its employees and excited to share it People and teams are so supportive and kind Fun work environment Supportive manager Small-medium sized business
Cons
Lots of people still associate us with the old Kit and Ace. Small teams which mean you need to be a subject matter expert Small-medium sized business
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-intelligent, fun people to work with -good discount
Cons
This place started out as a relatively pleasant company to work for, but after a short while I came to realize the toxicity that lives within it. First of all, there is absolutely zero trust from upper management to other employees, leaving tension, discomfort ect. I (and others) were constantly taken advantage of into doing ‘tasks/jobs’ that were above our job requirements. These tasks would often be disguised as ‘learning/growth opportunities’, sometimes they would be out of the norm ‘competitions’ with an unsubstantial prize gifted at the end. The company is extremely toxic by having a number of special manipulative verbiage they like to use. For example ‘integrity’ or ‘background conversation’ or ‘clearings’. Lets say upper management heard that I along with other employees are talking about any dissatisfaction or frustration within the company, they’ll look down on you and tell you not to make background conversation. It then starts to become believable that venting to coworkers is wrong and that’s where it becomes manipulative. Last thing I will say is there is so much shadiness happening within the company. Noone ever knows what is going on because they refuse to keep people informed and straight up lie about what’s going on.
