Spreadshirt Reviews

Pros

* the culture is quite relaxing. No dress code etc * close to no corporate BS * sometimes vegetables * super high freedom as developer: develop, test, deploy, monitor and fix it all yourself * nice events/parties * colleagues to have a fun time with

Cons

Technical management has all the management but without technical understanding. For an e-commerce company I expected more tech. understanding / visions from the management. Some seats in this company will be kept by the same person regardless of success / failure. #bromance

Pros

Working with the best people I have ever worked with, flexible working hours, kind and fair managers who try to support but avoid micromanaging us, I am very happy here.

Cons

Not so many. Only colleagues who complain about minor issues while they mostly should be happy about everything.

Pros

Great work environment, casual dress code, superb mid level management and colleagues in general who make being at work enjoyable. Flexible working hours and well developed team cohesion in general.

Cons

Unavailable vacation for a block period during the summer and xmas holidays.

Pros

There are a lot of good things about Spreadshirt, but they lack in the most basic areas. PTO plan is generous, but most of it goes to padding your check due to lack of work. No money or time left for vacations. Benefits are good, but again, the cost eats up a good portion of your check when there are no hours. Lots of extras like free food days, games, events etc. The management team goes out of it's way to create a good working environment. Casual dress code. Free coffee Staff is friendly

Cons

I have worked for Spreadshirt for a number of years and I have just seen things go downhill fast. The CEO recently came and had a meeting with all of us and talked about how well the company is doing but that's is hard to listen to when there are no hours available for the employees. And that is the major issue. Production staff are important too, but it doesn't make you feel important when you can't pay your bills and no one cares. Production associates are given hours based on the order volume. We are constantly told about the facilities numbers and asked to go faster and make improvements. This is fine but what they fail to recognize is that every time I go faster or we improve, my check goes down because there are no hours to work due to a low order volume. The order volume continues to go down and there is little relief for those of us who need hours to live. The pay is bad. It is not anything more than you can get at places around us. The company recently did a pay increase but that doesn't help me when there are no hours to get paid. To be fair, the company did give us an extra 16 hours of PTO but that only covers the lack of hours for a week or 2. Management does not seem to care that we are not able to pay our bills. They do not care that there are a lack of hours. They do not care that we will drive in for what we think will be an 8 hour shift only to be sent home after 3-4 hours. Many of the production staff have tried to speak to the managers about this issue and although they say they are trying to work on things nothing ever happens. I do not know if they have any control over things here since the company is owned by people in Germany. I don't know if they have any choice or can make decisions. It is sad because there is potential for this place to be great, like it was before. I have seen almost half of the staff let go in the last few years because of this issue and I am sure it will happen again. There is no relief in sight. This is the major issue for the company. If they could fix this it would be one of the best places to work. But it is hard when you go for weeks with no hours and then they will demand overtime because a big order comes in. Its just not right.

Pros

Great colleagues, interesting tasks, modern offices, open and international culture, transparent internal communication and most of the time a lot of FUN!

Cons

There are always little things that could be improved... but we already work in a great environment. A little less moaning would be good.

Pros

-Casual atmosphere -"Fun" things for employees (donut days, events, food days, little gifts, things that don't have to be done but make you feel appreciated) -Benefits -Vacation -Flexible -Lovely co-workers

Cons

While there are cons (as there are to every workplace), I feel that that the pros really outweigh them, so there is no point in listing a few minor things.

Pros

Relaxed work environment, great people!!!, a lot of vacation time and encouraged usage of vacation time, fun company parties and events, company lunches, seasonal, birthday, and anniversary gifts, travel, great management team and amazing Production Associates!!

Cons

Not a household name... yet.
