Pros

It was exciting at first to be part of a small creative team where everyone was working towards a common goal. These good vibes did not last long.

Cons

- No employee reviews - No HR - No benefits - health insurance was discussed on multiple occasions but never was implemented. 401k never discussed. - Poor management skills - one owner was mostly absent, the other was incommunicative and refused to delegate causing endless delays, missed deadlines and wasted resources. - Poor work environment: extreme temperatures, insect infestations, dust and dirt everywhere. Strong push back from mgmt when hiring a cleaning service was suggested. - Dismal office/factory culture: management inconsiderate to factory workers, no holiday bonuses, excessive overtime as a result of bad management/ planning. - Unnecessary culture of secrecy - Poor interpersonal skills

Pros

Working at this company was a truly special experience. It’s rare to find a place that not only fosters an entrepreneurial spirit but also empowers you to run with it. Being part of a small, growing organization meant I could see my impact every day—and that kind of visibility and ownership is something you don’t get in most roles. It was a wonderful opportunity to help shape something beautiful from the ground up, alongside a passionate, driven team. If you thrive in a fast-moving environment where ideas are welcomed and initiative is rewarded, this is the place.

Cons

Minimal structure or top-down direction at times—but for self-starters, that’s part of the appeal. It gave me the freedom to experiment, make decisions, and really own my work. CEO & Founder are supportive, inspiring, and always listened to any idea.
