Great Place To Grow Your Career and Make An Impact - Project Manager Elevate Packaging Employee Review

Elevate Packaging is seriously amazing. It's a niche business focused on real circular cars compostable packaging that actually cares about the planet, which is what I was seeking for my personal professional career direction. I love that I get to work on stuff that matters and still have the freedom to do things my own way. It’s not just some boring job; while there I was learning and growing every day. They really trust you - and kinda expect you - to take the lead, which makes it super motivating.

Sometimes there’s so much going on that it’s hard to know what to tackle first. It can get a little overwhelming when everything feels important. But honestly, it just shows how much growth, innovation , and exciting stuff is happening. It's not for everyone - you need to be quite driven.

Nice team and great product

While the team itself is kind and supportive, the overall work environment is extremely difficult due to the CEO’s leadership style. The company struggles with serious organizational issues and inefficiencies that directly affect clients, projects are often delayed or mishandled because systems are poorly managed and constant rework is required. The main problem is that the CEO refuses to let anyone improve things. He micromanages every process, dismisses suggestions, and often undermines employees’ efforts. Instead of empowering the team, he tends to belittle people and second-guess their work, which creates an atmosphere of fear and frustration. Feedback is rarely constructive, and conversations frequently turn critical or demeaning. While the mission of the company is meaningful and the staff genuinely care about their work, the lack of trust, respect, and organization from the top makes it nearly impossible to succeed or grow professionally. Unless leadership changes its approach, I wouldn’t recommend working here.
