Pros

Excellent colleagues, great middle management, remote work.

Cons

Could never recommend someone in my network to work here in good conscience. Executive leadership is unaware of how to effectively manage people (not to mention how to keep SwagUp financially secure), and even worse, they’re unwilling to learn or develop. Expert gaslighters to protect their own egos and incompetencies. Turnover at the company has been extremely high, and higher than ever right now. Executive leaders make hasty hires, set those people up to fail, fire those people, then talk badly about them after they’re gone. Sound healthy? Also, if you aren’t on the “good side” of company politics, you’ll be shown the door quickly.

Pros

Good pay for some roles.

Cons

SwagUp is dying a slow, painful death. It is so disorganized and all the systems are breaking. Quotas are unattainable and they will lay you off without warning like they have done 3+ times to dozens of people. C-Suite is full of a bunch of egotistical people who don't care about their employees. They don't know what they're doing and will mow you over if you bring up any issues. (All the good reviews on GD are from Senior Management and C-suite)

Pros

Progressive environment - collaborative and challenging. Everyone's available and willing to support each other. Direct line to executives who embrace diversity and promote an inclusive culture. If you are searching for your next challenge, growing your career and expanding your knowledge and experience, this is the right place for you. Work hard --- play hard

Cons

None as of today! Some folks might refer to work-life balance, IMO it depends on time management, discipline and organization. You control it and your team will support it.

Pros

Remote work, great middle management and awesome team members

Cons

Unless you're an Account Executive, you'll never get any recognition or paid adequately for any work and time that you've put into the company. Leadership isn't interested in hearing from the people who talk to customers every single day, they're really only interested in you executing their plans, even if they haven't worked in the past. I never felt like any of the work I did was noticed or important to anyone outside of my immediate team. There is little to no honest communication from leadership and if you do press for answers, you'll be met with corporate buzz words that ultimately mean nothing. If you're also interested in working for a socially conscious company, this is not the place! Leadership says they're interested in social causes, but really there's no action behind these sentiments. Similarly, leadership says they care about employee well being, but also don't encourage employees to take any time off and it quickly leads to burnout. The leadership team is more interested in being the next Amazon and being seen as a "bootstrapped" Jeff Bezos than actually creating a good company culture for its employees.

Pros

SwagUp is an exciting company that is still a start up and you get to work with talented employees who are passionate about growing the business! There is a lot of opportunity to help build our swag management platform and we already work with over 5k companies globally. The team culture is amazing and everyone works together to expand our business "to the moon." Our executive team is extremely hands on and we all work together to impact the business and meet all swag needs and expectations. This is an exciting time at SwagUp and it's an incredible place to work!

Cons

This is a start up environment so you want to make sure you are passionate about growing a company and being part of a hard working team!

Pros

Unlimited PTO - but good luck getting it approved. Remote Working - but micromanaged to hell. Offsites/Get togethers - but you'll get sexually harassed by the CEO's father.

Cons

CEO has no education or business experience (and proudly tells people this often) Management are wonderfully transparent (till things are not going well. Then you know layoffs are coming)
