Pros

- Employees on the floor often have a great relationship with each other (not upper management), largely driven by their discomfort and mistreatment in the company. - Health insurance - Free product

Cons

- HIGH turnover rate. - Below market rate compensation for the majority, only a select few OG employees (less than 5) are paid well, but not proportionately to their output. - They killed the atmosphere on the floor with cubicles. Additional brands that the CEO has interests in are constantly rotating in and out of the doors - either physically in the office, or marketing strategies are copy pasted across companies (though they'll never admit it). - The leadership style is run by fear-mongering - the CEO is disinterested in people, always walking in and out of the office without so much as a greeting (not even welcoming to new hires). A trend followed in upper management believing that they know everything, and leading by fear. Employees are told to just take it or be quiet because certain individuals call all the shots - and if you don't, your work life will be made a living hell or you'll be forced out. - It's well understood that bonuses, raises, promotions or any similar rewarding is given few and far between, but when it does occur, it's only to those who forfeited their quality of life to respond to Slacks and calls way after or before hours. - The handful of OG employees are also well-known to be there because they're protected and are in more comfortable positions, but they too have admitted to fearing stepping 'out of line' or having limitations of how far they can stand up to those that are bullying. - Unlimited PTO? HAHA. If you dare take the time off, I can promise you won't actually be "offline" for long. I can count the days I was truly off the grid on my hands, over several years of working there. When you get back, it's a nightmare pile up. - As far as future outlook, they work the books across companies, sooner or later that has to catch up. - Note** If you DO hire on, please be sure to look after yourself and analyze those contracts with a fine-toothed comb. Make sure you know exactly what limitations and expectations you're signing on for.

Pros

- Learning and Growth Focused Environment: Want to learn a new topic or another role? Great! InstaNatural supports you in learning that area. I personally have never learned so much about a business across departments. There are also monthly Lunch and Learns where the company provides lunch and various departments train the organization on topics they may not know as well like Marketing, Product Development, and Excel. - Collaboration: This is an empowerment driven team and the best ideas come from anyone. I feel that even in meetings outside of the department I work in, my ideas are heard and I have the option to talk it out with any leader from the CFO, to the Director of Marketing, they will listen and work through the solution together. - Challenging: The work can be a lot at times, but the management team does a great job to help you prioritize. - Culture: Okay, this company goes so far beyond any expectations. There are snacks and events on a monthly basis. These events and the care shown for each team member, keeps me coming back. It's a family.

Cons

Same with others, it can get a bit loud but headphones are supported and there are conference rooms and a huddle room to book if you need to make a call, or need some quiet.
