ETEKCITY Reviews

There are lots of opportunity here if you are willing to try and learn. I started working at Etekcity as an intern and eventually moved to a part-time position. When I graduated from college, I was offered a full-time position. It wasn’t an easy, smooth and spoon-fed journey; I was challenged again and again, but for me, it was fun, and I went through it more for personal growth than anything else. I made lots of mistakes along the way, but quickly learned from them. I’ve seen the company grow, and even though it is not mine, it still makes me proud. The best part about working here is that my voice and hard work are recognized by my direct manager and supervisor. It’s just like Samuel Goldwyn said, “The harder I work, the luckier I get," and that is 100% true for me. My coworkers are friendly, fun, and weird. I can even considered them as friends. In addition, there are no politics here and I don’t have to kiss an A to move up. Through my experience, I believe the company and my coworkers value positive energy and attitude and teamwork. We love good vibes every Monday morning. There’s not a complaint about how awful the weekends have been (unless someone ask) nor how much they hate the world. We have coffee makers, tons of snacks and breakfast almost every Monday, ie. bagels, donuts, or pastries. Those are definitely a win for me because I never have to worry about working on an empty stomach. They also recently hired an awesome COO who used to work for HP, Kodak, & Razer and an official HR Manager that works hard to provide us with awesome health, dental, and vision benefits options! I feel like the company has a bright and challenging journey ahead of them, and I am so excited to contribute my talent to that journey.

Let me preface by saying that I did not want to leave Etekcity, but due to some life changes, I had to quit, at least temporarily. I wish I could still work there. I worked for Etekcity for well over 2 years and it has been one incredible journey. While working here, I've learned so much about how a business operates and the different functions of a company. We learn from each other and are allowed to experiment with different marketing strategies and concepts. Being a small-ish company, there is room to try on different hats and venture outside of your own job title. This leads to people eventually making changes in their career path. Career paths are also starting to be laid down so when you start, to know you can work towards higher positions as you learn and progress through the company. They also just implemented some crazy nice benefits (platinum-level). Everyone was super excited for the amount of benefits we were getting, I was super excited when they started giving us a bunch of free food and snacks. On top of that, they've always been super flexible with scheduling and work hours. I have had a lot of things going on in my life and I've never had to worry about how time off or strange schedule requests would affect my standing with the company. This company rewards action, at least for the marketing team. They understand that certain areas need room for experimentation and innovation in order to push forward. That's how we end up with award-winning products and super high-quality marketing materials. There's been some organizational changes recently that include new management positions and I am really excited to see how they can take Etekcity to the next level. The company has brought on and is bringing in really experienced industry professionals to keep them moving onward and upward. As a whole, the atmosphere is great and I always got the sense that we were one big team working toward the same goals. It's definitely a youthful and inclusive environment, with people taking time to go out together in the evenings or on the weekends. Also, a few people have had the opportunity to go work abroad in other Etekcity offices. I was able to spend a few months last summer traveling with Etekcity, meeting and working with international coworkers. Overall, Pros include: work environment/atmosphere, teammates, management, benefits, opportunities, food.
