Pros
-There are some really great people who work at Tradesy, so great that they may just become your life long friends. -People here work very hard, it will inspire you to work just as hard -There is a lot of flexibility with your hours. You can work at home, work in the office, work remotely wherever as long as you manage your schedule well -The product is exciting. Whether you're into fashion or not, Tradesy is at the end of the day a tech company so it appeals to the interest of fashion snobs or tech geeks -The office culture is super quirky. If you fit in that is. Lots of craziness that goes on, never a dull moment. It's complete madness in the best way possible and very fun. -At the time when Tradesy began there was a lot of room for growth. Regardless of how the company is doing now, you can always voice your opinion and if you voice it well to the right people it will be heard
Cons
-Read the negative reviews of this place and trust them wholeheartedly. Tradesy seems like a great place to work in your first three months, but the glamour fades away really fast -SO cliquey. There are a lot of social events that go on and not everyone is invited (not that everyone has to be), but they’ll wave it in your face and make you feel unwanted. A lot of people here don't seem to have personal lives or friends outside of work. Work life balance is important. It is absolutely dead here. -Many people have been fired or laid off very unprofessionally. Lots of miscommunication, poor handling of HR. If word were to get out about how this is/was handled I think this company could go down in flames. -Some people in the office had a lot of sexual tension. This was before there was any hr (not that what they have now is any better). It violated a lot of work policies. Lots of scandalous behavior and debauchery going on at happy hours or bday parties. Beware. -Every team in this company struggles massively, and there is nothing or no one who will fix the problem. You fight to get ahead of your workload, but somehow you’ll eventually drown. You’ll then blame yourself and later realize it wasn’t you. There have been so many smart individuals working here who had potential or came in with great work ethic, but because they were not given enough resources it drove a lot of people to quit, get laid off or fired -Let us not forget that Tradesy acquired Shop Hers and then literally everyone acquired from that team except for maybe 3 people either quit or got fired. Great acquisition guys. -CEO yells a lot, has anger issues, emotional rage and leads with fear. During a company review, many people noted that they were fearful of the CEO. Say much? -Unless you're on the tech team you're really not that important. Member Care? Logistic? Marketing? Sales? Your opinion won't matter since it's the engineers that are really making waves in this company, or so that's what they make you want to think -Some people are grossly overpaid and some teams don't have enough people to carry them afloat....because upper management is getting all the money -Anti-meetings is a lie here. So many meetings. Half of them are useless. -There are some people who have jobs here who don't truly deserve to. They are here because of the favoritism and relationship they have with the original team that founded Tradesy. They'll impart their exquisite taste for how things should be run to the lower comrades of the department, when in actuality their opinion is so baseless.They get to fool around, get paid a lot or have some huge stake in stock options when a lower position worker who is working their butt off is getting nothing. -It becomes very hard to leave this place because you get enamored by false promises, free lunch, dogs and little parties. You fool yourself into thinking you can survive, but wake up. Think of every bad relationship you’ve ever had and how hard it could have been to leave, but how much better of you are now cause you left. That is this place.
