Pros

Running water and toilet paper provided.

Cons

So sad, petty and arrogant place. Upper management rules with fear and intimidation and lacks their professional boundaries. Upper management is extremely micro-managing and likes to "challenge" employees, -act like they own you. Upper management are predators who chew up employees and spit them out, -so the turnover is cray-cray. They will hire 6 people and a month later 4 of them be gone. Upper management are so arrogant, they really believe people leave cuz they don't want to work hard but people leave cuz it's a toxic place with lots of fear and intimidation and playing favorites. Too sad and ignorant about how to run a business and manage people, - insincerity shows. Stressful and unreasonable demanding, - "a high performance culture with non-traditional and often long hours" and if no work is needed some will be made up for you. You will receive texts and emails at all hours 7 days a week even when something could wait but they want you "on" all the time. They don't tell you this in yo interview. No matter how much you do it ain't never gonna be enough. Expectations get changed with no notice and lots of rules ain't clear. You will be told to do something one way on Thursday and then told on Tuesday you ought to have done it a different way. Upper management talks real bad about employees and will roll their eyes behind yo back and don't treat the employees with any real respect, just wants to boss you around to make themselves feel good. Lots of negativity, petty, arrogant, manipulation and favoritism. No trust & no feeling of job security for sure, - lots of smiles to yo face and gossip behind yo back. Security cameras are in front of yo desk,- so you'll be watched all the time. Expect ugliness if certain favorites don't like you,-buddy system in place-they don't have to be nice cuz hatefulness trickles down & favorites don't have to follow any rules. Run don't walk away.

Pros

I absolutely love my job! This is a company with values I thought did not exist anymore. I feel like I am a part of a team. They want to hear my opinion and what I have to bring to the table. The CEO is kind and very generous especially with time off and holiday. This is truly a family oriented company. They strive to provide the best for their employees.

Cons

None that I can think of...

Pros

Working at retailcomm is a joy! I've been blessed to work here for a while now, and it's been amazing to see how leadership is taking our ideas and implementing them. They've really worked on adding perks to improve our work-life balance. We already had the ability to bring dogs to work and work-from-home for most roles, but this year, they also initiated flex-time. It's been a game-changer in all the best ways! You can tell that the leadership is always looking for ways to improve work-life balance. Things can get busy and stressful when there are tight deadlines, but working here really is work hard and play hard! We've had some super fun happy hours, lots of breakfasts and lunches provided by retailcomm, and a TALENT SHOW! To say it was awesome is an understatement! If you're looking for a place to be recognized for hard work, to grow in your career, have fun with an incredible team of people, and be heard, retailcomm could be for you!

Cons

There are some incredibly busy times in the industry of experiential, and it can be stressful. However, if you've got grit and determination to do your job well, you can get through it. Since the company is still growing, each member of the team is really vital to its success. It's not the company for someone who wants to take a backseat on the team.
