Pros

Company trips are fun and there are some genuinely nice people that work there. You get the run of the mill benefits, which is nice. They will spend money on decent IT equipment.

Cons

Don't expect to ever go home at a decent hour or spend time with your kids on the weekend. They work you 50+ hours a week, in fact, they used to advertise that you'd be working that much. There is no work/life balance with Spreetail. If you're not all work, you're out. Don't fall for their unlimited vacation time "perk". You won't use the time and you'll be shunned for taking time off. Performance reviews are a joke. You'll have stellar reviews the entire 3+ years you're there and still get fired without warning and without getting a reason. This happened to multiple people, including myself. If you plan on drinking the kool-aid and snuggling up to your boss for 50+ hours, this job is for you. Don't expect to get paid much, unless you're a software engineer.

Spreetail Response

We’re disappointed to hear that your experience with us was not a positive one. There’s no doubt our team works hard; we never put off to tomorrow what we can tackle today and always seek opportunities to take on more. We recognize and are transparent that those simply seeking a 9-5 are probably not the best fit for Spreetail. However, what makes our company different is not just the intensity and pace about our business, but also the deep and meaningful personal relationships we hold with one another. Our benefits are meant to encourage these relationships, as well, including company events with other Spreetailers and vacation time shared with loved ones. If you have any additional feedback to share, we encourage you to contact us at careers@spreetail.com. Thank you.
