Pros

Great products. Great junior employees who are willing to work hard and really want to create a successful start-up. The management team has corporate experience, so they know how the industry works and have valuable insights to share. The pay and benefits are decent (excellent if you are a senior employee and favored by the CEO.)

Cons

It's all about politics and optics. The reviews on here were orchestrated by leadership to make this look like a great company with normal start-up issues, for example. However, none of it is real. The leadership team is prideful and talks about employees behind their backs. You can feel it when you walk into the office - everyone is on edge and there's no trust. It's sad, because the brand has a lot of potential.

Pros

Staff feeding program through many vendors, ability to purchase other products at wholesale price, lots of great people to work with.

Cons

The previous owners sold August 2023 and the new owner is a nightmare. When he's in the office, everyone is walking on eggshells. He doesn't talk to anyone except through Teams. There's no small talk about your weekend or upcoming events. You're just an employee to him and nothing more. He's quick to let you know that he signs your paycheck so do what he says. He likes to say he wants to hear feedback but then doesn't listen and dismisses any feedback given and uses it against you in your one on one meetings. He should have stayed in Seattle where he belongs.

This is obviously written about the wrong company. No office in Seattle. No office of any kind. Company was not sold in Aug 2023. No male owner. Honestly, this company sounds like a dick...glad we aren't that company.
