Pros

The only pros that were present are now gone as most of the forward-thinking staff were left unheard and found better opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

- Fear of rats as there were over 20 in the warehouse - Absolutely no room for growth, managers will keep you where you are by doing mindless repetitive tasks - Direct managers are not on your side, they will take all credit to make themselves appeal to the owner - Nothing to learn as most of the upper managers do not know how to use excel nor have an education - You will not be paid even remotely close to industry averages - Proposals to better the company will not be considered and you will not be heard - Managers will berate you and call you names - Managers act as if they are doing important tasks, but are actually just browsing their phones - False promises of career advancements, wage increases, work from home options - Gossip across the entire toxic company, rooting from upper management - Everything must be taken with a grain of salt, managers will refute any past promises by twisting and cherry-picking their words/offers - Forced office culture, where rearrangements of desks and seating arrangements occurred often and obnoxious techno music was played for 5+ hours straight - Micromanagement even when tasks are elementary - Extremely high turnover - Managers always choose the options that further decline revenue due to a lack of experience - Air conditioners were never on to save costs even when temperatures hit above 30 degrees, warehouse and office became ovens

Pros

I had the opportunity to grow with the company over 12 years, starting in the warehouse and moving into a director role — the growth potential is real if you're willing to lean in. The team culture was collaborative, fun, and felt like family. For those who are self-driven and open to challenge, Vitasave offers tons of opportunity and learning. Pay and benefits were fair for the industry and a start-up. The company was willing to pivot quickly for growth, which kept things fast-paced and forcing you to learn on the fly or adapt. The work kept me engaged and challenged, I never stopped learning. I made a lot of incredible memories and friendships along the way.

Cons

Like many fast-growing companies, there were times when roles stretched beyond their scope — if you’re not aligned with the long-term vision, that can feel overwhelming. No company is perfect; there were challenges and growing pains along the way. Some negative reviews from former staff were difficult to see, as I took personal responsibility for their experience and always tried to support and grow the team the best I could.
