I met my best friends here! Great people to suffer with.

Minpunten

This company is run by two people who have absolutely no sales/B2B experience or business running a company. I would not trust them to run a bath without the Coast Guard present. The company's success can be attributed to their SEO, and the talent of the sales and host teams, many of which were fired and or quit. The owners romantic relationship and white-knuckle grip on the company, with absolutely no transparency, makes it impossible to accomplish even the smallest task without several meetings and passive-aggressive Slack messages. During my time at Teambuilding, I made the company millions of dollars and in turn, leadership created a client-facing database with the intention to capture the revenue of their own sales reps without having to pay us that pesky commission check. Again: Teambuilding created a system with the intention to phase out their sales employees and increase their bottom-line, lied and told everyone their jobs were safe and they had nothing to worry about, then promptly laid off half the Sales team, retaining their clients and future commission on those sales. Prices were made arbitrarily, it was a constantly battle for information and resources, and many decisions were made with little to no oversight into the event industry. While our team made Teambuilding so much money the owners successfully relocated to the Cayman Islands, their top-talent was underpaid and gaslit about it. Please, do not waste your time with this organization. If even one person is able to see this and apply their talents elsewhere, that is a success.

Hello, thanks for your feedback. We are open to hearing concerns, and have reviewed yours – I see ways that we can improve going forward, such as continuing to work on communication and transparency. A couple of notes: - We are very happy paying commission — it's a win-win for our sales team and the company. - Many of our sales-reps earn higher than the posted rate for the role, plus we've added bonuses, full-health care, parental leave, additional PTO and more. Aside from that, there are some large generalizations here about our competence and motivations. Sometimes businesses have to make decisions that won't make everyone happy, but after careful consideration of all options are expected to create the best outcomes overall. For folks reading – I know a review like this may give you doubts about applying for a role at teambuilding.com. We've worked with hundreds of happy team members, and I'd be happy to put you in touch — michael@teambuilding.com.

This is an enjoyable and rewarding job with a fantastic team of coworkers. The work environment is positive and collaborative, making each day both engaging and fulfilling. Management is highly transparent about company developments, ensuring that employees are well-informed and included in the organization's direction. Additionally, my immediate manager is supportive and approachable, consistently making me feel valued and heard.

Minpunten

The only con is that it's part time work and not full time.

Pluspunten

My coworkers have been great to work with. A lot of them are incredibly talented and hardworking, and I was able to learn a lot from them. It is just a shame that their skills are being wasted on a company that shows almost no regard for them.

Minpunten

- The biggest problem with this company is the managers. - Leadership is extremely poor and completely self focused. - Constant unreasonable demands with no regard for employees. - Absolutely zero respect shown to the people doing the work.

Hello, I read every Glassdoor review to see if there’s something we can learn from it. In this case, the feedback is so generic that it’s difficult to understand what specific experiences you’re referring to. We’re a relatively small company, and the culture described here is not one I recognize. Our managers are kind, empathetic, thoughtful people who treat everyone with respect. We of course have job requirements, but we don’t make demands, unreasonable or otherwise. No company is perfect, and we’re always looking for ways to improve, but I don’t believe this review gives prospective employees an accurate picture of what it’s like to work here. — Michael
