Herbsmith reviews

No PTO (in the first year) or sick days. Pay is deducted for appointments or conflicts in schedule even if you are a salaried employee. No flexibility in your workweek schedule, hours do not vary. No compensation for overtime hours or working weekends. No training provided. Work is kept separate from one another and collaboration is prohibited. Conversation with co-workers is prohibited. A depressing work environment; you work in tall cubicles with limited sunlight and are separated from co-workers to discourage talking. High turnover. The owner has yelled, used inappropriate language and laughed at employees. Projects are micromanaged. Concerns and suggestions for improvement are not welcomed. Because of this, a strong "Us versus Them" mentality is created. It was hard for me to maintain motivation in this type of environment.

No PTO for 1 year (then only 5 days at year mark) No health insurance. Although the hours of 8:00-4:30 are very reasonable, there is limited flexibility to change those hours if needed. Pretty rigid culture as employees were not encouraged to collaborate or talk to coworkers during business hours. They seem to have a high turnaround rate. Many employees stayed less than a year.
