Pros

Engaged employees and owners. The company is invested in technology and customer service.

Cons

The company doesn't focus enough on employee health and potential. They say they want people to succeed, but don't trust them to be self-directed. Cliques within the company make some people feel like outsiders at work.

Steal Network Response
10y
In all honesty, I would argue that we are too self-directed and often don't provide enough training. This is a very fast paced, sink or swim environment that relies heavily on individual contribution. We have many employees that have been here 5+ years that know each other very well, but I wouldn't consider that a clique. The employees at Steal Network are some of the most open and welcoming people on the planet. I have never witnessed anyone be treated like an outsider. We occasionally have drinks in meetings to celebrate milestones or individual contributions. We do not have a traditional corporate environment and I'm happy that our team has fun together after a long days work. I think this reviewer is mistaking ego with confidence because we have an excellent track record of treating everyone with respect.

Pros

This company provides amazing opportunities for every employee. It's stripped down of any hierarchy, and allows smart and aggressive employees the opportunity to make a real difference at the company. The hands-on experience of every aspect of a thriving ecommerce company is priceless. You never feel boxed into one job, for those that love to learn this company allows you to wear multiple hats. The family-run culture is comfortable and accommodating. It's customer base is loyal, authentic, and engaged. Management allows for complete autonomy, and the learning opportunities are endless. Steals requires and deserves only employees who are self-starters, passionate, not afraid of a challenge, and driven to grow the business. I'm lucky to have had that opportunity.

Cons

The competition in the ecommerce industry continues to get harder and harder. Small businesses used to thrive in the time when social media was free, organic traffic was plentiful, and word of mouth meant something. This makes it a challenging work environment for your standard employee. It requires passion, creative vision, and audacity to buck the current industry trends that Steals is facing.

Pros

I have been with StealNetwork.com for nearly two years.The staff, culture, and ethics is nothing short of amazing. All of my co-workers (President and CEO, included) are always willing to help at the drop of a hat. In fact, I have called our managers and owners on the weekends or even late at night and they are always happy to help get an issue resolved. StealNetwork.com operates honestly and always does what is best for our customers and staff. We are consistently being provided with new and better benefits and options. We also have a staff member each month who will win a cash bonus, just to show appreciation for their hard work. Another "Pro" is the opportunity for advancement and the flexible schedules. StealNetwork strongly supports all staff to ensure that they have the tools needed to not only move up the company ladder, but to ensure that we have the ability attend school functions for our kids (we even have some staff that bring their little ones into the office, occasionally). I honestly can't say enough good things about the StealNetwork and plan on staying with this company for years to come.

Cons

At this point, after nearly two years of employment, I haven't had any negative experiences. I have always felt valued and respected. Any type of issue is always resolved right away.
