Pros

None. I would say zero.

Cons

This company offers no benefits, no parking support, and not even water for employees. Breaks are minimal — expect to work nonstop except for an unpaid lunch break. Work-life balance does not exist here. Management sends messages through Vox even outside business hours, sometimes as early as 6am or as late as 9pm. The environment is stressful, unorganized, and lacks basic respect for employees’ time and well-being.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Thread & Seed didn’t fully meet your expectations. We truly appreciate the time and energy you brought to the team during your years with us. As a small business, we do our best to create a supportive workplace with meaningful perks and benefits. Health benefits are available to all eligible team members who choose to opt in. We care deeply about our team’s well-being and make sure our policies align with state labor requirements. Our break policies are reviewed during onboarding, signed off by each employee and detailed in shift notes. When it comes to communication, we truly value our team’s time — which is why Vox is meant to be used only while clocked in. There’s never an expectation for hourly employees to check or respond outside of their working hours. We appreciate your feedback and the role you played in helping us grow. We wish you nothing but the best moving forward. Warmly, The Thread & Seed Leadership Team

Great Learning Experience!

Pros

I started my journey as a Sales Assistant Manager and quickly advanced within the company. The work is dynamic and ever-evolving, reflecting the business itself. I had the opportunity of being mentored by, the founder, who truly cares about the growth and development of her team. She invests in us through workshops on topics like human design and clean beauty, which have significantly enhanced my skills.

Cons

As a small business, the company does not offer a lump sum of paid time off (PTO) or benefits like health insurance.

The leadership team — as well as Melanie — takes great pride in supporting the growth and development of our team members, and we’re grateful that you were part of that journey. Based on feedback like yours, we’ve continued to grow as a company and are proud to now offer health benefits, which began last year. We’re always striving to improve and create the best possible environment for our amazing team. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, and thank you again for your thoughtful review!

Worst job experience ever.

Pros

Zero pros. Coworkers are nice, but it’s a revolving door. Everyone quits and rightfully so.

Cons

The owner, Melanie, cultivates one of the most toxic work environments I have ever been in. Not only was there zero respect for boundaries, I constantly felt belittled and degraded by the owner. This job managed to take away so much of my self worth in such a small amount of time.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. We take comments like yours very seriously as they help us identify areas where we need to improve. While our owner, Melanie, doesn’t get the opportunity to work with the day-to-day staff, she does believe in fostering a healthy work environment where our employees can thrive. We strive to create a supportive and respectful workplace for all our team members. It’s also worth noting that we have been experiencing significant growth. We went through some changes with our back-of-house team to better serve our community. These transitions can be challenging, and we understand they may have impacted your experience. Your insights will be taken into account as we continue to work on improving our communication and management practices. If you’re open to it, we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further to better understand your experience and how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out directly to our HR department. Thank you again for your feedback.
