Pros

Joining CommentSold four years ago was a remarkable experience, marked by a warm and genuine atmosphere among colleagues and customers. The initial enthusiasm was fostered by upper management's appreciation, evident in generous bonuses and giveaways.

Kontras

As economic challenges unfolded, exacerbated by events like the pandemic, the company responded by adjusting strategies. Unfortunately, this led to the decision to replace the owner and C-Level execs, including the visionary Brandon Kruse. The transition brought significant changes, with the introduction of Gautam Goswami as the new leader. While change is inevitable, there have been concerns about a perceived shift in the company's culture. Some describe Gautam as abrasive, and social media platforms echo sentiments of unhappy customers. Internal discussions among staff and feedback from past employees further highlight discontent. As prominent figures departed, the watercooler talk turned somber, with expressions of dissatisfaction toward The Board, Gautam, and others. Despite claims of resolving spending issues, recent layoffs indicate ongoing challenges. The decision to replace Brandon Kruse has left many questioning the net benefit of the leadership change. In addressing my disappointment, I'd like to express profound gratitude to Brandon Kruse for initiating the success story that seems to have taken an unfortunate turn. Working under his leadership was an honor, and I sincerely hope the company can rediscover its former success while retaining the positive aspects of its unique culture.

Pros

Unique organization and culture with a "help-first" mentality. Multi-dimensional role (equal parts customer service, marketing, and sales). Fully remote job with great hours. Above average salary and benefits. I get to travel and represent the company in industry events. Platform that’s rocking retail – in a good way

Kontras

No. It’s a fun and flexible environment.

Pros

Good colleagues and you can really trauma bond.

Kontras

• The company shifted dramatically for the worse after new leadership took control. • The CEO treats employees with complete disregard, acting as if people are expendable and beneath basic respect. • Concerns are raised, yet management rarely acknowledges or takes them seriously. • The culture feels deeply unsettling and driven by fear, with many employees staying silent just to avoid becoming a target. • After a significant wave of layoffs, instability became the norm and job security felt nonexistent. • There was constant expectation to remain available beyond normal working hours without fair compensation. • Management behavior grew increasingly harsh, while transparency and trust completely broke down.
