Pros

Good Pay, 4 Day Work Week, Decent Benefits, Roth IRA program, Vesting Stock Options,

Cons

Management can sometimes be untrusted. A lot of micromanagement which could be annoying. Also a lot of misinformation about how things should operate. The Warehouse segment of working is daunting and the Hounding for Taking our Time out in the field is also frustrating. The Random Sundays with No way to complete our full shift because most of the ware house is closed and there's nothing to do when we return from our route. The Lack of Training, We're expected to operate a specific way without being instructed or informed of the new changes that come. Hasn't been a 6 month period without a significant change and needing to adapt to a new way of operating. There's team meetings without the full crew and the lack of information sharing after those team meetings is neglectful. We have good Team Members and some poor supervisors. They skate by doing the minimal work. They Move the Newest Employees up into higher position without accounting for them trying to pass probation with decent marks. Team members overlooked for promotion because of arbitrary reasons that do not consist of the job title.

I’m glad you found your time at Article on the Talent Acquisition team enjoyable, and we are incredibly grateful for your contribution. As we went through hypergrowth, it meant doubling the size of our workforce. The hiring volume this year has slowed down which resulted in the need to resize the TA team. It’s the first time we’ve gone through a reduction in force during COVID, and we tried to be as generous as possible with our severance package. It’s incredibly hard to have a few amazing people leave our team, but we’re grateful for your time here and the impact you had on Article. -Brad

Thank you for leaving a review. I appreciate your honesty and I’m glad you enjoy the work/life balance and relaxed work life. That is intentional — we try very hard to facilitate that atmosphere to support holistic wellbeing. You make a fair point about compensation. Our philosophy is to pay in the top 30 percentile. That does mean large tech companies will offer more than us in compensation. However, we balance that with what you mentioned in the Pros section — we create an environment that is relaxed and lets you own how and when you work. It’s always difficult to put a price on work/life balance. It’s not as tangible as a number or benefit. But we believe the ability to have freedom and autonomy in how you do your work is significant and important. And our People and Culture team is always listening and improving our benefits to make Article an even better place to work. -Mohammad N., SVP of Technology
