Pros

Incredible culture of collaboration across Sales, Marketing, Education, and Operations Leadership genuinely invests in people, training, and career development Innovative products and science-driven portfolio that make you proud to represent the brand Fast-paced environment with exciting projects and new product launches Supportive colleagues who share knowledge and celebrate wins together

Cons

The pace is fast and dynamic, which requires adaptability — but it also means you’re constantly learning and growing. With ongoing growth, systems and processes are evolving — which provides opportunities to contribute ideas and shape how things are done.

Pros

Nothing positive to say about the company. If a zero rating was possible it would be marked.

Cons

1) unrealistic expectations across the entire organization. They ask some employees to take on additional jobs responsibilities that were never outlined during the interview&hiring processes. Responsibilities that usually require 2ppl. 2) Disorganized Leadership team. Additionally, leadership enable poor behavior. Allowing for cross-functional team members to be disrespectful towards one another with zero disciplinary action. 3) Overall toxic work environment. Employees are treated like disposable work mules. Zero work life balance.

Pros

The marketing team was very flexible with PTO and work-from-home days. Hybrid work schedule was a huge plus for work-life balance. Team culture encouraged idea-sharing — “no ideas are bad ideas” was genuinely practiced. Upper management changed shortly after I left, and I’ve heard more positive things about the company since then.

Cons

Mixed experience with my direct report — I appreciated their guidance in my career, but their communication style was often rude and unprofessional. I heard similar experiences from their other direct reports. "Upper management coasting" for sure. The work environment was chaotic, with last-minute projects, unrealistic expectations, and little clarity from leadership. Assistants and Associates, were severely underpaid for the workload and responsibilities (e.g., $20/hour to manage an entire ambassador program?). Very limited opportunities for growth or promotion — advancement often felt unclear or unattainable, even for high-performing employees.
