Pros

The founders celebrate diversity and inclusiveness and put these ideas into practice by hiring a diverse staff, the team is amazing, relaxed work environment, understanding upper management that is easy to talk to, being able to have your voice heard and make a difference in a dynamic start up that is rapidly growing, recognition for high performers, work/life balance, Seeing amazing luxury clothing daily (and getting discounts on goods!)

Cons

Because it is a start up that is in its early stages, compensation is low. If you do not know what you want and are not vocal about your own needs, this company might not be the one for you. The only way to be truly successful and grow with the company is to be very open and always communicate with your supervisor/manager.

Pros

- Fun, young staff - Great employee discount

Cons

This company is run by two extremely inexperienced, unempathetic founders (Rie Yano and Jie Zhang) who put financial gain before their employees. They're ruthless and will do whatever it takes to grow their business even at the expense and well being of their dedicated employees. The utmost priority is financial gain. Company culture? Nope. Investing in talent? Nope. Liveable wage? Nope. Benefits such as 401k, company equity etc? Dream on. The wage gap at this company is embarrassingly dramatic. The average fulfillment center employees wage (Leads included) is around $13 per hour. Meanwhile, members of the cofounder's team are being paid anywhere from $50,000 to upwards of $170,000 for producing laughable, uninspiring work. Want a raise or additional responsibility? You'll be told that you "don't understand the business" or "it's time to move on to a new job". I've repeatedly attempted to believe this company has my best interest in mind but I'm ALWAYS let down. If you're looking for a dynamic work environment with fair compensation, stellar benefits, and transferrable job-related skills, I can assure you that Material World is not that place.
