Pros

the best part about working at Onia was quitting. The office is nice though!

Cons

PLEASE NOTE: I told the recruiter that placed me at Onia all of the below info, and that agency no longer works with this company. Aside from the office, everything else about Onia is terrible. I saw some of these bad reviews back before I started working there and while it was a little unsettling, I ultimately thought that I had worked in this industry a long time and it couldn't be THAT bad. It really is that bad. The culture is toxic- There's a good chance that Management will throw you under the bus for something out of your control. In an effort to save their own jobs and survive, coworkers will likely turn on you and you're done. I saw this happen a few times during my time there. Management is extremely abusive, vindictive, and cruel. They are bullies and their behavior on numerous occasions was disgusting. Literally bad mouthing or screaming at/belittling employees in front of the entire office and worse. Often instead of firing, the co-founders would harass and verbally abuse people until they quit so they didn't have to pay severance. I wish I had recordings- the place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You are disposable- Every second of every day your job is on the chopping block. Most days someone is fired and another poor soul is hired.. and I wish that was not an exaggeration. You'll be doing +12hr days, every day and that still won't be enough. Compensation isn't great and the benefits are lousy. Ultimately- if you are not fired, you will want to quit. If you're considering working here- just don't... yikes.

It has been an incredible journey. I’ve grown both personally and professionally. To the ONIA team – I’m forever grateful for the experience and our time together and look forward to seeing all the great things you’ll do in the future. Before I start my next adventure, I'm going to take a little time off and travel Iceland!

Pros

Many of the people I worked with were genuinely kind, supportive, and wonderful to collaborate with. The office space itself was nice, although the open seating setup may not be ideal for everyone. The location was great — unfortunately, that was one of the few major positives I experienced.

Cons

After reading through the reviews, I tried to form my own opinion and block out the noise. However, after spending the last year working here, I experienced and witnessed several concerning issues — frequent hiring and turnover, a toxic work environment, and a pattern of short-term fixes rather than sustainable solutions. Leadership often lacked the support, direction, and guidance you would expect from strong leaders, and the level of micromanagement was unlike anything I have experienced throughout my career. I also witnessed an employee being yelled at and verbally mistreated, which was one of the most unprofessional situations I have ever seen in a workplace. I truly believed this company was moving in a positive direction and growing for the better, but unfortunately, my experience showed me otherwise. On the product side, the prices felt very high for the quality of the clothing. Even with the employee discount, many of the items I purchased either did not fit correctly or had inconsistent sizing. The return rate is extremely high, which speaks volumes about the quality of the products. The number of returns reflects the customer experience and highlights ongoing issues with fit, quality, and consistency. The prices are far too high for the level of quality being delivered.
