Pros

Fantastic concept, great people, fun work environment

Cons

In immediate panic mode. Fired for "attendance" after THREE DAYS. I understand better than anybody that poor attendance cannot be tolerated. However extenuating circumstances should be taken into account. Not only did I make them aware of my ongoing car problems prior to starting (in fact, my request to start work a few days later was denied), but my cell phone broke, making my efforts to update them never got through. Now I understand how this looked, and would certainly have kept me on a short leash. HOWEVER, I would like to think that two otherwise brilliant small business owners possess enough critical thinking skills to evaluate each situation on a case by case basis. In my case, the fact that my shortest tenure in the last 20 years of my career speaks for itself.

Contrary to what you have posted here, and you may refer to your letter of termination emailed to you on August 23, 2017, and our in person discussion regarding our concerns on August 22, 2017. The company was unaware of your car trouble prior to confirming your start date and once we were made aware of your issues, we did not deny your request to start at a later date, the company merely offered to provide you with car service at the companies expense, as an alternative option so that you can meet your start date obligation and you agreed, Please refer to the correspondence email dated August 16, 2017. The company made good efforts to accommodate your unforeseen personal matters by allowing you to leave early and also by ordering car service which took you to and from work, so that you can meet your work obligations at the company. Prior to your termination, we had a meeting with you to discuss what we expect from you and what we will not tolerate moving forward regarding lack of communication, attendance and ability to perform. The next day, we did not see nor hear from you until around noon. At this company, our core values and culture are extremely important to us and although you are not satisfied with our collective decision to let you go, this decision was made in the best interest of the company and its employees. We wish you the best of luck in all of your business endeavors and truly hope that you were able to learn from this experience.

Pros

- A company that believes in the growth and happiness of it's employees. - Great culture, passionate people, great place to work :) - Work with celebrities and influencers I have never had a job that management really cares about treating an employee like an actual human they really make an effort to get to know you. In my past experiences most companies only see you like a robot. Having bosses that are influencers and celebrities you would expect to get looked down on but they treat us with so much respect and equality. Something pretty amazing to note is that work life balance is remarkable. Being a parent is something that is a big part of my life and they understand when you have a parent teacher conference, etc. They even have a policy where you can bring your child to work, which is wonderful. This is a fun company that really cares about the well being of an employee their growth and development as a person and in the company. The people I work with are talented, hard-working, passionate, and care about each other as people. We do fun, high quality, creative work!

Cons

If you are not passionate about learning and pushing yourself to be the best this is not for you.
