Pros

Because the company is so small you get to try lots of things and gain varied experience. They are open to creativity and have some great gift ideas.

Cons

Awful culture of bullying that happens when the owner is not around. Focus on drinking at the expense of work being done well. Pay is unfair, experience not rewarded and staff members are treated as easily replaceable.

Gift Republic Response
6y
We understand that this experience clearly felt very negative, and we’re sorry that this was how your time with us felt. Gift Republic has clear expectations around professionalism, fairness, and how people treat one another, and the culture described here is not something we recognise or accept within the business. As a small company, standards and accountability matter, and concerns about behaviour or pay are intended to be addressed through managers and the person responsible for HR support when raised. We do appreciate your acknowledgement of the creative opportunities and the chance to gain varied experience. Giving people exposure to different areas of the business and encouraging ideas has always been an important part of how we work. We wish you all the best going forward.

Pros

Great exposure to how a fast-growing international business actually operates. As an intern, I was trusted with real work rather than busy tasks. The team was approachable and open to questions, and it felt like my input was taken seriously. Flexible working style and a relaxed but focused environment.

Cons

You need to be comfortable being proactive.
