Pros

Nutrabolt sells a good dream and the people are truly some of the best bunch you can work for. There are a lot of great perks like meals and gym stipend and events during the month. There is a lot of opportunity to learn cross functionally and collaborate with other departments. The open office concept makes it easy to get to know everyone.

Cons

Where to even begin... the senior leadership can not be trusted. We are currently without a CFO, COO, and CMO who all left in the last year..... Nutrabolt has its growing pains like any other relatively new company. High staff turnover. Supply chain and inventory issues are the biggest pain point that stresses every department. Grandiose plans are out in motion and abandoned just as quickly so it’s hard to know the standard at any given time. I didn’t have a serious issue with the company until the COVID19 pandemic that they handled extremely poorly. All new hires should be aware that you are completely dispensable and replaceable despite the family culture and there is no loyalty or reward for being a good employee. I want to give an honest review of how we’ve been treated through this. One week, they were promising that things were okay and the next week 1/3 of the workforce was quietly laid off or furloughed. People that had been with the company for several years were let go with no explanation and we were all told that it wasn’t about ‘performance’. Director level jobs were eliminated just the same as associate level. Pay cuts were issued across the board to all positions ranging from 10% to 25%. We’ve been told this is our reality indefinitely until revenue goes back up to pre pandemic numbers. A month later, we were told that an exciting and shiny ‘Nutrabolt 2.0’ was coming with the ‘next now’ that includes hiring new talent to try to get us excited. There is zero trust with leadership and everyone seems overworked, every department is bare bone, and process has completely lapsed. Disgruntled people are leaving and talking about leaving right and left. The business decisions don’t make any sense but we aren’t allowed to question it. It really looks glamorous from the outside, but it’s chaos and commotion for everyone inside.

Pros

Free energy drinks and merch.

Cons

This is one of the worst companies I’ve ever worked for. The “best place to work” recognition does not reflect the reality of what many employees experience. During my time in this company the culture is driven by favoritism and a lack of accountability. Leadership roles are often filled by individuals who lack the necessary qualifications, while others are consistently overlooked without clear or honest explanations. Performance and merit are not the deciding factors for advancement. There is a consistent pattern of poor management, little to no training, and zero accountability for bad leadership decisions. Instead of building a professional and supportive environment, the culture rewards fitting a certain image over actual capability. I also observed ongoing inequities in advancement opportunities. Many BIPOC and LGBTQ+ employees were given vague or inconsistent reasons for not progressing within the company, while white employees / white hiring candidates advanced more easily. Over time, these patterns became difficult to ignore. Overall, the environment felt toxic, frustrating, and discouraging. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering working here carefully evaluate whether this is the right fit no matter what role you are applying.
