TOMS Reviews

Pros

All wins with this company

Cons

No losses very great and perfect company

Pros

- Half-day Fridays - New office space with free Starbucks and sparkling water - Most of the people are friendly and a pleasure to work with - Flexible work from home schedule (one day in-office)

Cons

- Employees are constantly being asked to fill "stretch assignments" even though it's the result of 4 company-wide layoffs in a 5 year span - No career growth (only lateral position changes to fill for people that have left or got laid off) - Significant raises offered only if you've found a better offer elsewhere - No clear strategy (TOMS changed its Giving strategy for the better, but it keeps changing its sales/marketing/finance/technology strategies with no impact on the bottom line) - Compounding debt problem caused by poor leadership during the company's hey day - Directors and Senior Managers expected to manage multiple teams, resulting in employees having to "manage" each other

Pros

It was a nice place to work.

Cons

You have to wear TOMS shoes at work which I don't personally like. Lol.

Pros

Vertical mobility is a pro

Cons

Hours are definitely a con

Pros

Good benefits, cool workspace, people/hr team really care about culture and mental health.

Cons

Other companies pay more. Poor larger business decisions left the company in a precarious situation leading to quick turnover for many departments especially performance marketing. The atmosphere in paid marketing team is not supportive or friendly when leadership changed.

Pros

- 4 Day workweek - Supportive team (if you're lucky) - Flexibility w/Remote work

Cons

- Constant mass layoffs (one happened right before i got hired, before I was laid off myself) - Company doesn't care about you as an individual

Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with

Cons

Advancement was tough due to it being a newer company

Pros

work life balance, inclusive culture

Cons

communication could be improved slow to make changes to business, not innovative.

Pros

-Remote work -Overall brand mission -Cool new office -Everyone is highly "nice"

Cons

-More than 20 people were laid off a few weeks ago, and now there is a huge hiring spree going on as we speak. Ask yourself if everyone laid off was terrible at their job or if someone is just looking for excuses for a poorly managed company. -The sales structure is stuck in 1999 -Most VP's and Senior roles have been "eliminated", or they have left. -Inability to innovate product wise -Growth opportunities are reserved for a very small group of people.

Pros

Good relaxed atmosphere with lots of freebies and young, fun coworkers

Cons

This was one of the most toxic environments I had ever worked in. I was bullied by my manager, constantly criticized to the point where he made me draft emails and have him read and correct them before I was allowed to send them out. Not only was there an overall dread of losing your job because there were several layoffs and VPs and Directors constantly quitting, but there was no collaboration between teams. My manager made comments to me that were racist and sexist. I had filed a formal complaint to HR but they did not do anything about it other than let me know that my manager would undergo training. Because of this job, I had severe anxiety and depression and had to seek professional help. My self esteem declined drastically during this role due to the micro-management and toxicity and I felt that I couldn’t do anything right.
