Pros

Worked on things I did "not sign up for" which pushed me to learn new tasks/projects quickly as required by management.

Cons

There is no company organization. No timeline for future or upcoming projects; everything has to be done "now" on the spot- due ASAP. Understaffed. Unsanitary working conditions (toilet never worked, they refused to call a plumber so we were forced to go elsewhere). Undocumented workers. Illegal operations in the warehouse as well as throughout the entire company. Lawsuits are consistent and covered up. Company sells cheap products at outrageous rates without proper safety testing and without full knowledge of what they're even purchasing from overseas sellers. Company is constantly replacing workers because everyone is treated as low as dirt- no employee is "good enough" and everyone must work FASTER for as little money as possible. Time and tasks are severely micromanaged. Employees stay quiet and don't talk about the sketchy questionable motives and activities of the owner. Overtime pay is never guaranteed even if it is verbally approved beforehand. Was told I wouldn't be paid for the time I worked. No benefits. Constant lies are fed to employees about pay increases, company benefits and other things that may sound appealing to stay longer.

Pros

Saw some of the reviews on here and I feel they are widely inconsistent with that's really going on. I've been here for almost 3 years so a lot of the reviews I've read are somewhat strange. 1. Bathrooms are actually really nice, they and the entire office look like it came out of a fashion magazine. No idea how this is a sticking point for people. Seriously the bathrooms are nicer than the ones I have at home. (Honestly, it's weird people complain about this here) 2. Management lets you be your own boss (to a point). Yes, you will take orders on certain tasks/projects, but it's up to you on how to complete it. The results are more important than the journey here and if you are a person with a good work ethic then you won't have any issues. If you're the type of person who takes a 30 minute task and won't get it done for a day or two, then maybe its not for you. 3. Details matter here more than any other place I've ever worked at. Don't come into work with a poor attitude or the feeling you can't get stuff done. If you like to solve problems then everyday is a new adventure. Personally I don't like to be a robot and do the same thing everyday so always coming into work with a new outlook is refreshing at least to me. 4. CEO. Everything I have been promised from day one has been given to me. 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, PTO, etc. I got it all like I was told, so I don't know what people are talking about when they say its all a scam. Anybody with a brain can see if stuff is accurate or not and I can confirm mine has been since day 1. No complaints. 5. People in the office are cool. I won't say I'm genuine friends with anybody here like buddy-buddy, but I do like everybody and everybody gets along and works well together. We celebrate holidays, birthdays (always some cake in the break-room on these days). I wouldn't work here if I didn't like the people or atmosphere. Lots of people from all over the world work here so learning about the different cultures and languages has been really cool (weird, non-work bonus I guess). Hebrew, Spanish, Arabic, French, etc. PS. Had a brother who needed a job and the CEO didn't even hesitate and got him in the next day when I brought it up. Stayed for a year until his school schedule changed significantly, but I won't ever forget that. Really nice of him.

Cons

Like every place there are cons. Biggest one I can see is being able to find good people for the jobs in the office. Maybe corona season changed this too last year, but people come in and get a job, stay for two weeks and just kinda slow down or start messing up after they are qualified for the position. Is unemployment that nice these days? Literally saw somebody get a job and a week later come in quit and say they made more on unemployment when they wouldn't return the company work phone they were given. Made a big scene about it, honestly it was wild that day and made for a funny story to tell friends. If you expect any company these days to pay you more than $4000 a month for an entry shipping position then you're probably off your rocker. The people who do stay turn out to be great people and I enjoy working with them, so maybe the hiring process could be better in this regard. I honestly don't know as my interview was super standard. The entire process to me was standard. A lot of people get hired and then don't work out quick and its a constant process of starting over every so often with a position. End of the day you're only as good as the people you hire. Customers can be hit or miss. The way the company works with third party vendors could be better in representing the brand. A lot of people think just because somebody sells the products they must be us and its really hard to get customers to understand a third party company is independantly owned and operated and this company only wholesales. Other than this I have little to complain about.
