Run! - Anonymous employee Spinelli Kilcollin Employee Review

Spinelli Kilcollin is truly an amazing place to work. The management team is approachable and supportive, and genuinely invested in the growth and success of each employee, not only professionally but personally. Advancement opportunities often arise for those who look to grow with the company and show the drive to do so. The work environment is highly collaborative, everyone's ideas are welcomed and valued, and the office culture is so open and positive! The benefits package is generous, including great health insurance options, the ability to get credit towards jewelry, and ample PTO. The product itself is beautiful and unique, and it's exciting to be part of a brand that stands out and makes a name for itself in the luxury space by breaking rules and traditions. As SK grows rapidly, there is a lot of momentum and excitement for what comes next.

With such fast growth, the company is evolving constantly. This means processes can shift quickly and frequently, which can be a challenge if you prefer a more predictable workflow with few changes to procedures.

Good healthcare (you will need it for therapy) and wages are aligned with the role and market

In the beginning, things feel great, so enjoy it while it lasts. The reality is that the good, the bad, and the ugly all come in waves. The company motto is ‘Everything is Connected.’ Unfortunately, the link connecting it all is chaos, poor leadership and a toxic company culture. Leadership sometimes makes hiring decisions they later regret, and instead of addressing the situation directly, employees have been coached to intentionally push people out of the company. Turnover is high, so if you’re a new employee, the best approach is to take things day by day. Do your job well and stay focused, but be aware that the environment created by one of the co-founders and the CEO can feel unpredictable and chaotic. They may try to get personal very quickly. Don’t overshare and keep your guard up - the switch-up comes… not if, but when. You will get asked to make so many proposals, SOP’s and documents that will likely not get reviewed by leadership. It’s a waste of time but do what you are told.
