Experience the front lines of the industry - Artist WRKSHP Employee Review

WRKSHP is a great company to work for. The employees here are all very welcoming and kind. Fast-paced work environment when it needs to be and laid-back when it needs to be too. Management is also very open to employee's thoughts and suggestions. Also very attentive to customer reviews, etc. Very dedicated staff. Another advantage is that the location is very close to Embarcadero BART station. The workplace is also very clean. No specific dress-code is required, which is super nice, (more attention is directed at your quality of work rather than the way you look). Definitely great people here to make connections with, all very competent and talented at their respective jobs. Hours are generally flexible as well. Obviously if there's a deadline to meet, more work needs to be put in.

Don't really have too much to complain about. Only thing that was stressful was the first few days. It felt like I was dropped in with minimal guidance and slightly outdated directions on what I should be doing. But for a Charter (in office), we are learning all the right things to do together, as we go. Therefore, the more I asked questions, the more I learned and became situated here.

Choosing to work here has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I used to work in a corporate job where I actually found the work interesting and could see myself continuing down that career path. So when I first started talking to PennyPop, I was a bit skeptical at first. As I continued talking to the team here including the two co-founders, however, I became convinced that this was where I needed to be. The team here is unafraid to tackle any challenge or industry. The company has a solid vision and are focused on building durable, consumer businesses that can withstand downturns. Unlike many startups whose sole goal is to take the company public and make a profit, people here genuinely believe in making the world a little better than it was before by providing consumer experiences that make people happy. Creativity is highly valued at the company, and it’s a great feeling to be in such a fostering environment where I find myself creatively challenged. Everyone here is highly motivated and supportive of each other, and managers care about your career growth.

I think the con with working in such an environment is that it could feel a bit fast-paced. I personally don’t experience this much as I find the work really fulfilling. When people do feel this though, I think they’re generally able to talk to their managers to work things out.
