Pros

None sorry not sorry. Bagels don’t make up for your poor quality of managers and work environment.

Cons

Honestly not even sure why I’m wasting my time writing this review when FAKE CORPORATE REVIEWS WILL BE UPLOADED RIGHT AFTERWARDS to improve their FAKE RATING ON HERE. This place is a joke. They underappreciate when you exceed your personal goals and look down on people who want to take PTO. Managers are not even competent nor does HR ever respond to your emails in a timely manner. Don’t worry, they’ll respond 5 days later. The warehouse was always cold due to the failure of installing a heater. There were water leakage many times. I’ve never felt so undervalued at a job in my life, and this is a lesson learned for sure. Money wasn’t good enough for the amount of work all the hardworking people were doing.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
