Micromanagement that loses sight of big picture and constant fear of loss - Customer Service True Terpenes Employee Review

True Terpenes is a truly unique place to work. The environment is extremely open and there is a diverse employee population with different skillsets to offer. Opinions and open communication are both encouraged and valued. It is a high-growth company that offers opportunities for those who want to continue in that trajectory. Managers are invested in their employees and want to see them succeed.

The insurance and retirement benefits were terrible. The CEO was detached and seemingly clueless about the day to day operations.

The R&D and Sales departments ran the company, dictating to everyone else what to do and how to do it. The executives all had a habit of throwing others under the bus instead of admitting their own mistakes. The culture was depressingly Machiavellian, with managers and supervisors all waging their petty little wars.
