HI! Thanks for giving us such a heart felt review. I can sense that you really cared about the brand while you were working for us, which we are grateful for. Yes, we are in transition right now, and we have had to make lot's of tough decisions while we work to create better systems and solutions to do what we do. As described there are many talented, and emotionally invested people on our team. Dogeared strives to do things better each day, and we don't always get it right the first time-- that is usually where our biggest learnings come from. I realize it may seem "problematic", but that's in the lens we choose to look through. We can see things as "problems" or as opportunities for us to be better as a company, and support each other to show up big in the world we create. mmc

Vantaggi

I have worked as an independent contractor for Dogeared on and off for over 8 years and one of the reasons I started with Dogeared was their positive messaging on each and everyone of their products. I really felt as though the owners not only made a product that puts that energy into the world but live theirs lives that way and truly care about everyone around them. When I am out in my daily life and mention I work with Dogeared the response is always "Oh I love that company" and I follow it with just how amazing I think it is as well. From getting days off to volunteer, to company days where we get the chance to make a difference in other people's lives to Christmas parties where they spoil us, it really is a great place to work.

Svantaggi

No company is perfect and Dogeared has definitely gone through a lot over the last couple of years (when you grow as fast as they have, there is bound to be some restructuring you have to make). And yes, that includes some jobs being eliminated, super tough decisions having to be made but the owners have handled it with grace and dignity, but I know it has been very tough for some as well as the owners themselves.
