Amazing benefits, fun and friendly atmosphere

Pros

The folks here are incredibly helpful, friendly, and creative. It's been my experience that people from other departments are always willing to lend a hand. And this might sound like a small detail, but is actually quite meaningful -- people always say "thank you" -- and they mean it! It's been a pleasure to work with such a diverse and helpful group of people. The benefits are amazing, too! 100% employer-paid premiums for medical (for the employee AND their family), as well as the monthly allowance for fabric, wallpaper, and gift wrap. Those are the biggies, but there's a serious emphasis on employee benefits here, which I appreciate. Spoonflower also appreciates employees' diverse skills, and whenever possible, seeks to promote from within and help people grow in their careers and their knowledge.

Cons

I don't know how to sew well enough to take advantage of all the great fabric I get monthly with my allowance!

Positive Work Environment

Pros

The benefits are out of control amazing. Paid time off, maternity leave, 401K, catered lunches, strong emphasis on hiring from within (if applicable), and health, vision, and dental insurance.

Cons

The hours can be pretty brutal on the body since it is a predominantly physical labor job.

Thank you for your review! We're pretty proud of our benefits, and are glad that they are valuable to you. And -- help is on the way for your (and everyone's) well-being at work! We're working on bringing in an ergonomics expert to provide Spoonflower-specific training for everyone on the best ways to perform our job tasks with a minimum of physical strain. That's coming soon! Thanks for your feedback -- please know that you can always reach out to us with your thoughts for how to continue to be, as you say, a 'positive work environment', and we'll take your ideas seriously!

Great company, wonderful co-workers

Pros

I have had the 'privilege' of working at various organizations that were not run especially well. Spoonflower stands out as an example of a company that really gets it right. I have never had a less than positive experience in my time there. Communication channels are open and easy to use; the supervisors are friendly, open, and helpful; and the management structures are incredibly person-centered and positive without sacrificing efficiency. The employees are supportive, positive, and fun. There are many possible paths to growth within the company as well.

Cons

The hours can be a bit wearing, but the overall flexibility of the schedule makes up for that most of the time.

Thank you for your comments! We work hard to prioritize people over process, and we're glad to know that this has been your experience. It's true -- 'breaking in' to any established group of people (whether here or anywhere) can be tough. We're working to strike the right balance of providing social opportunities for the whole company (coming to the Spring Picnic?) as well as on a department level. Have an idea for a social event to encourage people to get to know each other? Please share it with us -- we'd love to hear your ideas! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
