Just okay place to work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Flexi

The company "still" has a strong brand in the pet industry.

Other than having a strong brand, there is nothing positive that can be said about this company. It is an awful work environment, very negative. The german management/ownership practices a text book worst case scenario how to demotivate employees. The turnover here is record breaking. I was told there have been well over a dozen sales people and managers who have started working here, only to quit, all within 3 years. I should know, as I was one of the 12+ sales people; I quit after less than a month. In a company where there are only about 10 people including warehouse and customer service people, that is staggering. The company offers NO benefits, e.g., no healthcare, life insurance, etc. Only a very weak 401K plan.

Not enough to outweigh the Cons

Toxic and condescending management from HQ in Germany, which basically also runs the Charlotte location. Extreme micromanagement combined with a harsh tone are part of the negative company culture. Office workers are expected to work in the warehouse as needed, which may be daily for a period of several months, rather than hiring another warehouse worker. The transfer of responsibility from former office employees to the remaining employees is also standard. Here, too, the first thing to try is how long you can continue with fewer employees. With these unrealistic expectations, the small team is pushed to its limits. The enormous change in personnel is therefore not surprising. This leaves little room for growth as there is no stable work environment.
