Don't even think about working here...

Pros

50% discount, although they previously tried to take it away. We receive a decent amount of gratis. Now, only due to law, we get paid sick leave.

Cons

I don't even know where to start. I've been with this company for a long time, and my experience has only gotten progressively worse as time has passed. This used to be a company that encouraged employees of all levels to make suggestions, give constructive criticism, etc. However, the owners have turned on those who have helped built the company. We are no longer allowed to even think about contacting the executives and we must follow the "chain of command." The only problem with this system is the information never gets to who it needs to go to. There are certain people at corporate who seem to have personal vendettas against people who challenge them, and there is no way for us to let their boss know about their actions. Everyday that I come to work, I feel like someone is either turning in their two weeks or talking about their plans to leave. If the owners listened to ALL of their employees and not just the biased words they hear from one, maybe they'd have compassion for those who do so much for them. Certain people who have been put in high positions of power recently seem to be abusing them. They seem to care more about their career advancement and their appearance to the owners than they do the actual stores and employees. Many have questioned the nature of the relationship between particular employees, because those much more deserving of a promotion have been denied the opportunity to someone under qualified. I no longer wish to work for a company that does not value its employees and treats them in such a negative way.

Business practices need to be investigated

Pros

Unlike the fake reviews I have no pros to mention about working here.

Cons

100% Pure has some of the most shady practices I've ever witnessed working in retail. The people at HQ are incompetent and very unorganised. They've cycled through more people then I can count on my two hands! This is within a few months also. If the CEOs truly cared about their brand they wouldn't hire unqualified people and let their subordinates abuse their power and cause trouble. There are plenty of other cons but I could be here all day.

Pros

- great products, 50% off discount - great and positive vibes in the warehouse

Cons

1. no practice of project management at all: managers do not have any sense of project management, emergencies happen all the time and constant extra labor and time cost. 2. unprofessional communication: some managers/co-workers surely do not know how to listen or talk. When encounter issues, some of them choose to blame on other people all the time instead of thinking about what they can do better. Some managers are just....RUDE...cut me right off in the middle of the discussion and the main reason is that she already knew this and did know want me to waste time, while I wanted to let other team members know. We are all human beings and it's normal to have all sort of emotions.You don't need to keep your emotions in, but it definitely would not be a good solution to project your emotions/tempers on other people during work. I think some of the professional communication training may be needed. 3. unprofessional working environment: sure, professionalism does not mean professional attires, and I totally support animal rights cuz I used to be a strict vegan. I got really frustrated with the dog barking after working here for few months, and the company is telling me that they believe that ANIMALS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT, in the office. Got bit by the owner's dog and she never sent me any apology. 4. discouraging environment for new employee to ask, learn and grow: As a new employee, it takes time, energy and courage to ask, learn and grow. I hope I could be in a friendly environment that welcomes all the questions I have during my learning period. And of course, when I encounters some problems during work, I am expecting a rather knowledgable manager/coworker who is willing to help, teach and spend some time on me.
