Pros

The idea of the company feels good and has gotten tons of buzz... Until you experience the reality of Brandless, you fall for Tina's spiel about changing the world.

Cons

Absolutely toxic leadership that flows down from the very top. Terribly managed, especially by the CEO. Brandless preaches kindness yet is flagrantly unkind to its employees. They treat their employees like dirt but go around claiming to be wonderful. Unbelievably dishonest, including and especially to its consumers (they just raised prices on their current assortment). Callous HR (who must have written the only positive reviews on this site). They just fired someone on maternity leave 3 weeks after she gave birth. This company is straight up mean while masquerading like they're doing good in the world. There is no way it will succeed.

Pros

Thoroughly loved my time and the team at Brandless prior to the CEO change and company shakeup in late 2023. Bright, hardworking, incredible people. 5 Star CEO and company leadership prior to late 2023.

Cons

The owner/board does not honor their commitments or contracts. They are both in the company, and in community, disparaging their former and current employees with a false narrative. They lack integrity and the business strategy to take the company where it could have gone. I would warn anyone against doing business with the owner/board. The new CEO and team lacked the experience needed and were fed false information, which will inhibit their ability to grow.
