Pros

- The people you work with are all inspired and driven. You will learn and level up your understanding and skills by simply being around the amazing people that make up the base of this company. - Free products. Their products really are some of the best out there. - Free gym.

Cons

- The only reason there are not more negative reviews that dive into more details is because everyone they have 'let go' has been made to sign a watertight NDA to receive any type of severance. - The only people that benefit from the 'amazing company culture' of Onnit are those that have been brought into the inner circle of Aubrey's cool kids. - Almost everyone else is worked to the bone and are constantly reminded of how little they matter. Leading to an almost frantic overworking culture because everyone is afraid of losing their jobs. This is particularly true of the content, research, and marketing teams. - Promises of development and advancement are empty, and if you try to aks for what you were promised it will be turned on you.

Pros

Great benefits Use to be a great place to work but that changed quickly

Cons

Working at Onnit has been a disheartening experience. The toxic environment created by our current CEO, Travis, is alarming. His penchant for gossip and talking behind employees’ backs has led to a culture of fear and distrust. The stress levels are insane—everyone is constantly on the defense. With agencies being brought in left and right, it’s obvious the goal is to replace as many full-time roles as they can while ignoring the support needed for the existing team. This only adds to the anxiety, as employees feel their jobs are at risk daily. With senior leaders leaving in droves, it’s clear that the issues run deep. Rumors circulate constantly, and no one feels safe expressing their thoughts or concerns. Instead of fostering a supportive workplace, leadership seems more interested in tearing down morale. Unilever: it’s time to reassess your leadership team at Onnit. The current environment is unsustainable, and it’s no wonder that talent is walking out the door. Until significant changes are made, I would advise potential employees to think twice before joining. The company is bleeding, and it’s not just from turnover—it’s from a culture that needs serious healing. Furthermore, Onnit is no longer the same place it once was, lacking the passion and vision that initially captivated customers. To all of us who are still fighting the good fight within this toxic environment, we are in this together and hopefully we have new opportunities on the horizon.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We know that a supportive and transparent environment is essential, and we’re sorry to hear you felt this was lacking. Leadership alignment and open communication are top priorities as we continue to strengthen our workplace culture. We want to assure our team and community that our intent in partnering with agencies is not to replace employees, but to enhance our in-house capabilities. Agencies bring specialized expertise that complements our team, offering opportunities for our employees to learn, collaborate, and elevate their own skills. We are committed to investing in our people through training and development, ensuring that our workforce is equipped to thrive alongside external partners. We value your feedback and will continue to focus on fostering growth and collaboration across our organization.

Pros

- Friendly workplace culture. - Healthy work-life balance with flexible hours, PTO, flex Fridays, and remote work options. - Competitive-ish compensation package. - Management encourages employees to express their career interests.

Cons

- No clear path for career progression. - Inexperienced leadership team, leading to a lack of alignment and discomfort during meetings. - Instances of leaders in the C-suite talking down to each other's teams, creating a negative atmosphere and undermining efforts. - People are talking...and there is CLEAR PAY DISPARITY among titles, responsibilities, gender, and RACE within the organization. - After laying off 10% of the workforce, the organization promoted three employees to VP positions within months. Seems pretty unnecessary since they don't operate as VPs. - Lack of vision for product development and branding strategies, we need outside counsel...that's a red flag. We clearly don't know what we are doing...short-term...long-term....at all. - The creative output falls short, appealing only to a narrow niche market that may have been relevant in the company's early stages. Rollouts and sneak peeks generate little excitement, a very underwhelming response. - Recent promotions to the C-suite are leading to a decline in organizational culture.

Thank you for acknowledging our positive work-life culture and for sharing your concerns. We take feedback seriously as it is crucial for our growth and improvement. We are dedicated to maintaining a positive, empowering, and equitable place to work. Any instance of disrespect among team members is unacceptable and against our core values. We take steps to address any such behavior directly and to reinforce a culture of mutual respect and collaboration. We take allegations of pay disparity very seriously. In addition to internal review processes, we engage a third-party consultant to audit our compensation, hiring, and promoting practices. These audits have confirmed that our pay practices are equitable and in line with our commitment to fairness, irrespective of title, gender, or race. We will continue to monitor and adjust our compensation strategies to ensure they remain fair and competitive. No workforce decision is taken lightly and all organizational changes support our strategic direction. We value promoting from within and remain committed to developing talented and hard-working team members. We acknowledge that there’s always room for improvement and are creating leadership development programs to ensure our leaders are equipped to foster a positive and aligned workplace. We also understand the importance of clear career paths and continue to develop more structured career progression frameworks to better guide our team members. We are also committed to broadening our creative direction and appeal, ensuring our products resonate with a wider audience and better meet the expectations of our diverse customer base. Thank you again for the feedback, we are open to ongoing dialogue and welcome any additional suggestions or concerns.
