Pros

Amenities every where!! Great pay

Cons

80% of management needs to be fired, if you're hired as seasonal you will be treated less than a peasant by the permanent employees, management hides what's really going on from the owner/ CEO, no room for growth.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience at UncommonGoods. While we are happy to hear you thought that our wages and amenities were desirable, we are sorry to hear your experience was not a positive one with us. One of our initiatives as we continue to grow is team member training, including a variety of topics to build better teams at UncommonGoods. This type of feedback is critical to us building that training, as we are committed to making sure each team member feels respected, comfortable and inspired to work for us.

Pros

you go in and you get out. It's a job and there is no real sense of belonging there

Cons

your hard work and effort go unrecognized unless you are friends with people in management

Pros

If you work hard, you can definitely get more hours, which is really appreciated.

Cons

Oh if only they spent so much time monitoring pot usage as they do cellphone usage! Half the part-time staff reeks of pot - especially those in the warehouse - it is no wonder so many customers complained about their orders arriving damaged and smashed, or sent to wrong addresses with bad personalization. A part-time manager even said to me "I like working here, there is no drug testing for us seasonal guys", so if you are not a stoner you may not like the place.
