Pros

The pay here is awesome, you can expect around 10-13 if you're starting out and depending on what you know. The employees are absolutely amazing to work with, some of the staples there (the employees there for longer than 4 months) are delightful to see and always made a positive impact on my day. Schedule flexibility is also good.

Cons

Now, onto the rather egotistical, misogynistic, and abusive management. First off, the management is manipulative, emotionally abusive and asserts their power daily. You can expect a degrading message in the company's messaging system for asking a simple question (where questions are encouraged), public degradation for keying errors, or basically any -error- you make. Threats to your job security; the people is are a walking embodiment of stepping on a Lego. Working in Fulfillment is both a blessing and a curse. The staff make it all so enjoyable, speaking about when we were younger and jamming out to nostalgic music. However again the managers make the experience bittersweet by demanding unreal expectations, and penalizing for not accomplishing such. There's a very distinguishable line between how the women and men are treated. Women are cast to the side and treated as inferior while men are able to do pretty much whatever it is that they want without remorse or action and the higher up on the power scale you are, the more you can get away with. This company needs work, and the people who work there deserve a better business model. There are some amazing people that work at Wanderer and none of them are replaceable, despite how management feels. It makes no sense that for a company who cares about not exploiting animals, the Balinese artisans, and everyone else, that they would bring the abuse and exploitation to their workers. No worker should fear their superiors, only to learn from them. Women shouldn't feel belittled, especially since one of the biggest spiels they have is how their artisans are 70% women.

Pros

Small company with a really great team, a lot of passion and belief that we are doing more than just selling products and making money. We are making an impact on the artisans in Bali and with our customers who are looking for jewelry with meaning. The day-do-day work is always changing which keeps me engaged. The management also allows the ability to work remotely, so it provides a little extra flexibility for work life balance than most other companies out there.

Cons

It's a small and young company, so compared to bigger ones out there with a lot of processes and budget it doesn't have the same level of structure or external partner service levels. If these matter to you and/or you need them to be able to do a good job you may not like it here.

Pros

- Competitive Pay - Fixed Schedules (somewhat)

Cons

- Zero Communication about the safety or security of your job - Temper tantrums from a CEO - Irresponsible management or just shifting management - Lies, upon lies. - Multiple managers over short periods of time. I worked at Wanderer Bracelets for a year and then some. About 1.5 years and over that time I had seen 2 general manager changes, 2 bookkeeper/hr changes and countless staff changes. This company is not afraid to lay-off it's employees EN MASS, 4-10 employees at a time and there's no warning for this. Our last days we were treated like animals to slaughter, everyone knew except for us. Management is inconsistent, small things that shouldn't be problems are, like having a manager for a customer service department. Expect to go long stretches with no clear direction and then subsequently fired. There's also a feeling of elitism, they want a certain "type" of person and if you don't fit that mold chances are you'll be let go.
