Pros

There are no pros here.

Cons

Please don't be fooled by the positive reviews! With the way this company works, it's either HR or the owners themselves posting the reviews because they are failing to hire someone for the many positions that are being left vacant by employees fed up with being used as a doormat and walked all over. Beware! Working here was the worst 2 years of my life.

Pros

I met some incredible people who have become amazing friends since we have left the company. Oh and free coffee I guess.

Cons

Everything is a con. Creatively, be prepared to be called "pedestrian" and have your ideas compared to those of a child. The founders are complete micromanages, not allowing the people they hire to flourish. Every project seems to be a fire drill, last minute changes from management, scrambling to get it together. Be prepared for many many sleepless nights, afternoon meltdowns and a couple of tears. During my tenure at Juliska, there have been so many people who have come and gone. Some people didn't fit into the mold, but many have gone on to create their own companies/stores. It's sad to see so many creative, driven individuals pass through instead of trying to keep them and help grow Juliska. It's discouraging for employees to see such great talent get wasted. Those who are allured by the travel opportunities, business trips consist of 5am flights to save money, 12-16 hour work days, and fast food. There is nothing glamorous at all about this company. Don't let the fresh cut flowers fool you!!!

As this review was listed 3 years ago, I am only sorry I was not at the company at that time to truly recognize and address some of the issues highlighted in this review. I can only say, in my experience, Juliska is a family-oriented company committed to fostering collaborative alignment and engagement throughout their team. We are a community of bold, passionate, audacious thinkers. We equally embrace our moments of hard work as well as our playful spirits and times of building our family through unforgettable moments- whether a ping pong tournament in the afternoons, or cake and coffee round table discussions in the morning, to hot chocolate holidays bars during the previous cold weather months. Perhaps we have made changes over the years since this review, or perhaps these moments of collaboration were not the best fit for this previous colleague. Either way, we will continue to strive in creating more reasons to celebrate, and add beauty to each moment- as we hope everyone does in their every day.

While this While this review is difficult to read, I am thankful for the opportunity to address a few key points. Firstly, this post is 8 years old. Should there be accuracy in it, I am delighted to work with an organization which has come so far in fostering employee engagement and a family-oriented environment. I am sure there has been a great number of policies and improvements put into place which has made the company more effective throughout the years. We foster employee engagement through numerous new venues: fair and balanced compensation packages, work life balance, remote work opportunities, training and development opportunities, generous employee discounts, team-oriented activities (from ping-pong to puzzles), and various employer sponsored lunch and dinner events throughout the month. We want all our employees to feel valued and respected, as we recognize their work is meaningful and their ideas need to be heard and respected. All the leaders of our organization are 100% committed to making Juliska an amazing place to work and strive to make investments to make our employees successful in a thriving and engaging culture of open communication and enrichment.
