Pros

Dog-friendly, free yoga, on-site cafe, it’s reallllllyyyy hard to get fired. They’d rather keep a bad employee than pay out unemployment.

Cons

I’ve held off on leaving a review in fear of burning former coworkers who became friends (they still are and this is fully directed towards the execs). This company thrives off gaslighting their employees. Work-life balance is frowned upon but so is working too many OT hours because that cuts into their profits. Unless your salary, then you’re expected to work until there’s no work left but let’s be real there’s always work to do. Employees have mental breakdowns left and right but mental health isn’t a real thing to them. The church of Scientology is strongly against therapists, so is the company. They think you’re just lazy or being dramatic. There have been multiple reports of sexual harassment towards a specific employee. It always seems to be taken seriously at the time of the report but nothing more than a slap on the wrist happens and the individual is still employed despite the repetitive allegations. You’d think that a woman owned company would take that kind of thing seriously. The pay is laughable. There’s a reason it’s not publicly listed. And don’t get me started on the PTO (which you have to use as sick days). 3 days your first year, 7 your second… etc. They try to use the job perks to offset the low pay but a living wage is worth more than free yoga and pizza parties.. And you can forget about asking for a raise. You’d have more success separating grains of salt out of pepper. Covid was handled about as poorly it could’ve been. Remote work was nonexistent after the first 3 weeks and the CEO laughed at people who wanted to take it seriously… it was “fake” as far as they were concerned. But I must say the most baffling thing they’ve ever done is forcing their employees to come into the office and work during a major hurricane because the building is rated for a “Cat 5”…. It is so apparent this company does not actually care about their employees. They care about their bottom line.

PostcardMania Response

Thank you for your review. I would like to comment on a few points. 1) Those who have been fired would not agree, that its "reallllllyyyy hard to get fired" as you said. If you do a good job and work hard, you will love it here and you will get rewarded as such. If you do not do a good job, or it’s a bad fit, or you cause trouble, you will be asked to leave. That is the simplicity of it. 2) Its clear to me, that you either experienced or saw or heard something that made you feel like we “Thrive off of gaslighting”. For that I'm sorry, and I wish I could have helped and I would have done something to help. I can tell you though if was true, we would not be where we are at today. We have trainers and coaches that help all day every day. we have a room where you can get away from the working day and read materials that could help you on your job. We also have insurance who provides free virtual counseling day or night or you can schedule in office visits. We are all human, and no one is perfect. But we can sure try hard to do a good job and help each other out. That is our mentality. 3) I’m in HR and I personally, deal with all harassment claims of ANY nature. Managers tell me if there is any hint of harassment as we take this subject VERY seriously. You mention “multiple reports”. You cannot know this since you were not in HR. We handle every report immediately and appropriately. We have no one running around here who has “repetitive allegations”. And we have fired someone on the spot for harassment. 4) Pay is clearly, and in EVERY case, written on our ads. Each new hire also gets a written offer letter on the day of the job offer. We also ALWAYS ask during, interview if this pay is going to work for you. We expect you to not accept and start a job if the pay is too low for you. We also expect you to not apply for a job, if you know the pay is too low for you based on our ads. It seems you chose to apply and work here. 5) Regarding PTO, you have been misinformed. Our PTO is actually 8 in the first year, 13 in the next and so on. 6) No one was forced to work during the hurricane. PostcardMania turned into a shelter as it normally does, and the staff went home. All staff received 2 additional PTO days and stayed at home. The building was open to several people who stayed in our hurricane safe building. 7) We love our company and we love our staff. This is the only company that I have ever worked for that does multiple surveys throughout the year, to actually hear what our staff think so that we can fix or change things. We wish you all the best and that you find a company and a job, that better suits what you are looking for.
