Pros

- I got to work and learn from some very talented and wonderful peers who truly care about the mission

Cons

- Top leadership does not care about feedback or employee's opinions - Leadership gives 0 thought to employee retention. Talent is bleeding out - Horrible benefit package - No transparency in the company - every slack channel is private and you cant post anything in company-wide channels. Information silos everywhere - HR department is a joke - could not finalize holiday calendar for 4 months and gives notice about holidays with days before the date - Leadership creates top down constant and often false sense of urgency. Everything needs to be done on some arbitrary deadline, which no one has any input on / knows how it's established - Massive amount of tech debt and more mounting up constantly - Very shortsighted decisions from leadership that only care about cutting costs, no vision for the future or how the cost cutting will affect the company in the long run - Imperfect Foods acquisition handled in the most awful way; real talent let go with no input from managers - Mission tagline gets thrown around with absolutely no actions to back it up - The CEO admitted that cost cutting is the number one priority and gives absolutely no thought to retaining talent

Pros

Working at Misfits Market has been such a rewarding experience. One of the biggest pros is being part of a company that is constantly growing and open to trying new things. It’s exciting to know that your thoughts and ideas aren’t just heard but truly valued, and you feel like you can make an impact. There are so many opportunities for personal and professional growth, and leadership is genuinely invested in seeing you succeed. It’s rare to find a workplace where your potential is recognized and encouraged every step of the way, and Misfits Market delivers exactly that.

Cons

I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a con, but more of an adjustment: unless you work in the operations departments, most roles are fully remote. At first, it was a big change for me since I was used to seeing people in person throughout the week. Over time, though, I’ve really grown to love the flexibility and have found a routine and process that works well for me. For someone who thrives on face-to-face interaction or prefers an office environment, it may take some getting used to, but it can become a great fit once you settle into it.
