Pros

50% employee discount (but note that the product quality has gone way down so there’s a very good chance your flowers arrive DOA, "send horrified," not "happy"). Finance usually approves an extended budget for happy hours so take advantage of that.

Cons

The senior leadership at this company is ill-equipped to get this business to profitability. The majority of the junior staff is miserable and burnt out (and leaving in droves). Nobody seems to know what they’re doing but if you have an ounce of knowledge in your field, be prepared to take on 2-3 other roles to make up for the incompetence of your manager and other teams. Echoing a similar note from past reviews: you will have to threaten to leave to get some kind of promotion or raise, whether it's deserved or not. Ignorance is bliss at UrbanStems and you will be baffled by how mismanaged this place is. Most teams can barely retain talent, with Finance, HR, and Merchandising being the biggest culprits. The business is essentially burning money at this point so if you like working for unstable workplaces and are comfortable losing your job in 1-2 years, UrbanStems is the place for you. But honestly, save your time and sanity and work anywhere else.

Pros

Remote friendly work environment. Coworkers are great. Flexible work times. Opportunities to learn on the job are abundant.

Cons

Team is highly disorganized. Most key seats have average turnover of less than 2 years. Org-level information oftentimes lost in the chaos. Work often happens in silos. People often pushed into roles they aren't ready for with little to no training. Most managers do not know how to do the work of their reports. Industry is brutally competitive, which is then reflected in the goals you are tasked with completing and the resources you are given to complete them.
