Think twice before accepting a job here - Anonymous employee Glow Recipe Employee Review

I made the mistake of reading the reviews, thinking, “It can’t actually be that bad.” It really is. The problems come from the top — constant micromanagement, zero trust, and leadership that seems more interested in control than collaboration. It creates an environment where nobody does their best work. Ideas are dismissed immediately, so people stop sharing them. Over time, you start second-guessing yourself: Am I really that bad at my job? That self-doubt turns into apathy — why bother trying if nothing changes? Eventually, it becomes resentment. You’ll see it in your own work and realize you’ve lost motivation and pride in what you do. That’s when it’s time to leave, because by then, you’re no longer the professional you want to be. There’s no upside here. You won’t learn much because taking initiative is treated like a mistake. You won’t develop professionally because feedback and efficiency are unwelcome. And don’t expect advancement — promotions and raises are inconsistent, decided privately, and based more on favoritism than merit. What leadership doesn’t seem to understand is that every person who leaves talks about their experience — to friends, family, and anyone who’ll listen — and that inevitably affects the brand’s reputation. Save yourself the stress and disappointment: skip this company altogether.
