Pros

The only things I liked about working at Happiest Baby were working from home and some of the coworkers were nice or sometimes fun. However, turnover rate is extremely high so most people would not stay for long unless they liked the way things ran or liked the management for some reason. If the company stays working from home then I would consider that as a pro if you are considering working there. Also the pay is not terrible, especially if you come from a retail or service industry background or similar. It is hourly

Cons

I just found this website and after I saw some very inaccurate reviews I felt I had to share some truths. I can only speak on experience with the Customer Care Team, but the five star reviews on here are not what I experienced at all. There is NOT unlimited PTO (not even close) and management does not encourage you to take it. You can ask for 2 hours off of one day a month ahead of time and they will fight you about even that. No paid time off, sick time or health insurance for first 90 days. (Seen this before at other places, but I wanted to bring it up since it is being misrepresented in other reviews) Another review said it better than I could so I will elaborate on that with my experience. "-ZERO transparency. Read that again. ZERO. You will be promised things that never come to fruition." - 100% true. Mgmt will try to calm people down by pretending they are going to do something, but it is a lie " -It doesn’t matter how hard of a worker you are, you will not be valued unless you suck up to Management, or happen to be one of the lucky ones that is just liked." - I think this is also mostly true,however I did not notice it enough that I would have thought to bring it up in my review so I can't speak on that as much "-HORRIFIC work/life balance. Do you want to work for 7 days in a row? Absolutely not. Especially not for the kind of complaints and micromanaging you will experience on a minute to minute basis." -Definitely true. Micromanaging is the perfect word for that environment " -Customers everywhere are tough, which is understandable, however, these individuals are consistently horrible, to the point of making staff cry repeatedly. Nothing is done to support the team. You either sink or swim. " - This I can say some people just get unlucky. I never felt to the point of crying. Had some tough customers, but it is to be expected. However I definitely agree there is no support for the team members at all. The company only cares about it's bottom line and not about how staff feels or how they are doing (They will claim they care a lot and that it is a priority for them, but that is another lie to seem nice) " -Take screenshots of everything you do. No one will trust you, and you will have insurmountable anxiety over minutiae. -There is zero flexibility or understanding from Management." -these two hit home for me. The level of anxiety that environment causes is crazy. It is the micromanaging and the lack of flexibility (like fighting team members over vacation hours) that are most disappointing when you're trying to do a good job. It's like there is no respect there. " -The pay looks promising, but is not worth it for the way your mental health will tank." - I was happy with the pay but I guess that type of thing depends on the person. Mental health definitely tanked though " -No accountability. Some people get away with doing no work, while others carry the team, and nothing is done to help balance this, including further training." -Something else I would have forgotten to mention that this review brought up is the way there is no further training. It is also not a kind of environment where you can ask for more training. One way mgmt is so toxic is that they will make you feel stupid for asking certain things or making certain mistakes. Even if you are doing everything right they will question you and talk down to you. It is very condescending and insulting. Over all just not a good place to work. If you like the pay and can put up with the way they treat you, then sure, it's a job. But there is nothing special about working here and no reason I would recommend it. (The only reason would be that some coworkers are nice, but like I said, none of the good ones stay for very long.) You are not joining some sort of "Family" and you are not going to be treated with respect or feel valued in any way. I know that is enough for some people so if that is you then you will be fine.

Pros

Really inspiring mission. The company puts its money where its mouth is and does a lot of good in the world. Coworkers are great, and people stay here for a really long time which speaks to that. CEO is super nice and very accessible. Not a lot of hierarchy, everyone collaborates with everyone. Some positions are fully remote and others are hybrid. Appreciate the flexibility. Get a free SNOO if you have a baby. And cash bonus if you refer a corporate partner to the Employee Benefits Program. Free lunch when you go to the office. People are really impressed when they hear I work at Happiest Baby/SNOO, and our vendors and other companies in the category really respect us, which is good for future career path as well. We do lots of innovative things as a business, so you learn a ton, including things outside of your normal department or scope, which keeps things interesting and engaging. Definitely recommend working here, it's my favorite job I've had.

Cons

There have been a couple of restructurings and people were let go. (I think that's where some of the not-so-good reviews come from, I could recognize them while reading).

Pros

A truly great place to work, driven by a meaningful mission and exceptional product. Family-like culture, dedicated, loyal, and deeply committed team - most of who have been with the company for years. Leadership is engaged and accessible with hands-on CEO. While recent restructuring of customer care department (due to increased automation) has prompted some concerns and negative comments, the overall environment remains one of real purpose and long-term dedication.

Cons

There are none at the moment
