      Pros

      Good for your resume when you look for a job worth keeping

      Cons

      Where to start... -The CEO hires his friends to replace valuable employees because he needs to surround himself with "yes" people. - If you voice a concern you are more likely to be reprimanded than have anyone solve the problem. -Mark King, CEO, tries to micromanage everyone, and seems incapable of letting others manage individual departments. This cause a lot of friction between employees and the CEO. -People are fired if they don't fit Mark's ideal person, this means if you do anything in your personal life he finds wrong i.e. Smoking/Drinking/Swearing/Music Taste/Atheist -He once even forced a Trans member of the company to leave by being hurtful and disrespectful to his transition. Reffering to the employee by his previous gender pronoun. -The CEO likes to get involved in his employees personal relationships, once he pulled two people aside and asked them if they planned on getting married since they worked their together. -Getting assigned self help books and not being payed to read them. He preached self help books like gospel and because it was in a book it must be right, and anyone else is wrong. -Forces culture in the company, and if you don't fit in, you are forced out. Feels more like a cult, and you better drink the kool-aid.

We seek new information and fearlessly ask questions that assist in the growth of the team, our organization and our future.

      Pros

      Working with Mark can be rewarding and challenging - he does what he can to help you succeed and responds well with direct communication. We worked one-on-one fairly often and this was always a positive experience for me! He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and loves to share this with others. Trayvax can teach you a lot - They really value cross-training and self-education, with a library of books they pay you to read and an educational budget to pay for courses and things for employees. If that's your thing, I had a lot of support when I expressed interest in these directions, and I really appreciated that. The company can be really adaptable if you have a good idea, I think this is kind of the heart and soul of the organization - to find ways to support innovation and change and empower employees to improve their environment. Also, the products are awesome. It's great to work with these high quality items and friends were always really impressed when I showed them off. Employees had access to a discount bin and these made great gifts for family members and gave me and others pride in the things we made.

      Cons

      Now for the cons - HR was cut way back during Covid and this negatively impacted the business and company morale. There were some big layoffs during my time there and this further impacted the morale of employees. The turnover can be high for entry-level positions where people don't feel that they can take pride in their work. This high turnover also was a big drain on morale. Morale was the main problem. By the time I left, managers were openly deriding the company, CEO, and other managers on a daily basis. It didn't feel like anyone was in a good position to change this. I wish the best for Mark and Trayvax, I heard that they have a new GM and I hope they can get back to the strong bones and solid intentions that created the company in the first place. Something tells me they will.

      Pros

      Some of the people are cool. Paychecks are nice

      Cons

      Some of the managers are shady characters who do drugs and have been to prison. I would not recommend unless you like working in a sweatshop
