It’s disappointing to see such incredible people constantly overworked and burnt out. The culture here is highly toxic and unhealthy, primarily stemming from one of the co-founders, Krissy Cela. She is often rude and unprofessional, treating staff in ways that verge on bullying. Mental health doesn’t appear to be a genuine priority, and although there are claims of support, it feels performative. She frequently asserts her authority in ways that negatively impact the team morale, disrupting what could otherwise be a collaborative atmosphere.
The company embodies a classic “Instagram vs. Reality” scenario. A significant amount of time is spent projecting an image online, but the reality is chaotic, with founder involved in only a fraction of their actual responsibilities yet taking all the credit. Team presentations often go ignored, with staff left struggling to communicate amidst ongoing drama and disorganization.
Opportunities for improvement are rare, and the company’s direction only seems to worsen. High turnover is common, with staff leaving under strange circumstances, making it hard not to wonder, “Am I next?” The strategies are unclear, and the disarray is exhausting.
