overwork the team - Influencer Sales Manager Bellesa Employee Review

Wide range of projects Relevant / current software usage Decent amount of autonomy (at the start)

Transparency is non-existent Unprofessional communication Unrealistic workload and turnover capacity Unqualified managers 2 sick days and the bare minimum PTO

Remote and woman led company

The biggest issue at this company is ongoing disorganization, which directly leads to unrealistic timelines and frequent last-minute changes. Tight turnarounds are rarely the result of genuine urgency and are instead caused by a lack of planning at the leadership level. Significant changes are often introduced at the eleventh hour by individuals who do not fully understand the scope, time, or labour required to implement them. There is a strong expectation for employees to give everything to support the company’s highest revenue-generating areas, yet little advance planning is done to make this sustainable. This results in a constant sense of artificial urgency and places ongoing pressure on teams to compensate for poor planning. When employees raised concerns about unrealistic timelines or unsustainable workloads, there was little room for productive discussion. Pushback was often met with dismissal rather than collaboration. This approach discourages open communication and prevents meaningful problem-solving. Staffing is another major concern. Turnover is high, the average tenure of one year should have been an early red flag. When employees leave, it can take months to replace them. The same level of output is still expected while being short staffed, even during the busiest times of the year. These bottlenecks are not adequately addressed and often lead to burnout. Overall, workload expectations do not align with available resources or internal structure, leaving employees to manage the consequences of decisions made without sufficient foresight.
