Pros

The people who work at Orb are the greatest asset and the fact that you’re working for a global company based in Halifax. Pay was decent, benefits and all that were good.

Cons

All about sales, getting the numbers and not about the quality of the product. Use to be about quality now they focus on throw away items. Focus should be a balance between sales & quality. No clear direction from the top, all done with knee jerk reactions and when it all doesn’t go the way it should, its the employees fault and not the senior management for guiding the company. Easier to have a temper tantrum and blame everyone underneath you and not take ownership for the poor business choices that were made.

Pros

Fun people for the most part, selling fun products

Cons

The company blew up after a viral toy made us millions, the rapid growth imploded the company - hired fast and furious and just as fast laid people off when covid hit. They took a whip tactic with the remaining staff - literally had the directors wear nooses around their neck at the Christmas party to represent the company being dead any minute. Big yikes
