almost a scam company - Anonymous employee Glow Recipe Employee Review

seeing many negative comments i thought to add some other comments, we tend to see only negative as humens so i get it... but man, there is also so much good out there. and when it comes to my work place, i love it! i love the product, i love my team, the opportunity to work on interesting subject. the story behind the company and the 2 founders. it has been 3 years and i don't see myself anywhere else.

none on my end, maybe the long hours i put sometimes but that's expected in sales.

Felt peace when I left

This was the worst place I’ve ever worked. I remember being so excited to start. Within my first week, I knew I had made a mistake. The founders will laugh at you, publicly criticize and humiliate your work, micromanage every detail, and gaslight employees constantly. High school mean girls, I would say don’t get on their bad side but even the people on their good side get verbally obliterated daily. There is a reason the turnover is so high. EVERYONE is looking for a new job and is absolutely miserable. Timelines are unrealistic and employees are expected to work late nights and weekends just to put out fires that never needed to exist in the first place. Leadership (the founders) operates with a shocking lack of professionalism. They have said some really questionable things. They will also tell employees one thing and do another. For example, at a company-wide town hall, the founders spoke confidently about how the company would not be conducting layoffs like many competing brands. Just two months later, more than 15 employees were laid off and subsequently replaced. They also told employees that executives had willingly given up their bonuses so everyone else could receive them, but in reality the executive team did not have a choice. The brand may look bright and fun from the outside, but behind the scenes it is a toxic, exhausting, and deeply unhealthy place to work. Working here taught me nothing except how to not treat the people who work for you.
