Pros

The biggest positive of working at ThirdLove is your team. They help you survive and dull the pain of being at the office. Most times they'll shield you from verbal attacks from higher ups and they'll make it easier to deal with unreasonable demands from unfit upper management. Your teammates will praise you for the work you do while your manager will take credit for your efforts. We're all just trying to survive and your teammates will help you make it day to day.

Cons

There isn't a day that goes by where I don't worry about how I'll survive off of the salary I'm being paid. I've picked up hours doing ride share on the weekends because the Co-Founders fail to realize how much it costs to actually live in the Bay Area. Everyone is paid below market rate and expected to pull more than 10 hour days. You're praised if you make it to 6 or 7 pm at the office and commended for your loyalty. THERE IS NO WORK-LIFE BALANCE AT THIRDLOVE. They will throw happy hours or give us donuts every first Tuesday of the month and act like this will make up for the lack of pay we get compared to every other company in the valley. Perks DO NOT equal benefits. If you give your opinion about any of this you will be blacklisted and Dave will go out of his way to berate you with unnecessary requests to make your life miserable. This is why the office is eerily quiet and he tries to cover it up with obnoxious music. The amount of micro-aggressions that are said and acted upon from higher management will make your head spin. The brand may preach diversity and inclusion but there has not been a plus size model on an ad in a long time. When questioned about this during an all hands, the head of creative gave a canned response that lacked any empathy. The business continues to invest in more sizes but she is missing the point of being an inclusive brand. This is mirrored internally with the lack of diversity across all teams. Majority of senior management is one race (I'll let you guess which one). There is a recent article out there that says we don't have a diversity issue because we're able to attract female talent but what it doesn't mention is the lack of PoC across the team. The head of recruiting has yet to speak about their efforts for diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Instead, she gave a canned response during an all-hands saying it's a "quarter 4 goal." This is not an answer and again lacks any empathy.

Pros

- Mission-Driven Company: ThirdLove is genuinely committed to creating well-fitting, high-quality bras and intimates that cater to a diverse range of body types. The company prioritizes comfort and inclusivity, which makes it rewarding to be part of a team that values innovation and customer satisfaction. It’s nice to work for a brand that actually listens to customer feedback and strives to improve its products. - Supportive and Collaborative Team: The people here make all the difference. There's a strong sense of camaraderie, and coworkers are always willing to help out, brainstorm solutions, and share knowledge. It’s a fast-paced environment, but the teamwork makes it enjoyable, and leadership is generally open to feedback. Company events are a highlight, further strengthening relationships and making collaboration even more seamless.

Cons

- Workload can be demanding at times, requiring strong time management and adaptability, but that’s just the nature of retail—it comes with the territory rather than being a true downside.

Pros

Working hours, paid holidays, employee discount.

Cons

Leadership often lacks visibility into the day to day operations that keep the company running. The contributions of individual team members tend to go unnoticed, which makes it easier for headcount decisions to be made without fully understanding their impact. When roles are cut, the remaining team absorbs that workload to keep things from slipping, but without additional support or recognition. Compensation consistently falls below market rate, and career growth is limited. In practice, taking on higher level responsibilities doesn't come with a title change or pay adjustment, just more on your plate. There's also a noticeable culture of favoritism, which is a significant factor in why people choose to leave.
