During my time at Allbirds, in the beginning it was very enjoyable. I had a great time working there, my fellow co-workers were great to get along with, and the staff was alright for the most part. As time went on, the job went downhill very quickly in terms of quality. There was VERY CLEAR favoritism/friendship between the managers and specific employees. They would go as far as to even have lunch the same time together, and interact as best friends on the floor. This friendship led to the employees feeling like they had the power or ability to manage their other co-workers in the store as if they were the store manager themselves. Due to the apparent friendship, nobody ever got in serious trouble for this which made working there feel uncomfortable. Also, the communication here from the managers was unbelievably bad. Schedule changes were made without discussing it with the employees beforehand and certain employees would be punished while others got the benefit of the doubt. This created a toxic work environment and made coming in feel like an absolute struggle. Not only that, but whenever the district manager or higher ups would come to visit the vibe of the store would change. Some of the leaders would start to act out and do things that they would never do if they weren’t around. As well as the manager. Overall, the culture of Allbirds was great. I like the brand a lot, and respect what it is that they are doing. But after working with the company and dealing with the issues that I had to, the job just was not my cup of tea. Most of the days were slow with barely any traffic and I didn’t really have a great time. 

Stop! Consider working at this location. I was here for about almost two years and when I tell you I dreaded coming into work. The manager made you feel so incompetent, everyone at the location at the time felt the same way. The team was great and we lifted each other up but as soon as the manager came in everyone hated it. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable being around a manager but at this job. Terrible at training you, expects you to act robotic towards customers. Now if you missed sales goal you know you were going to hear it from someone. Expects you to get very single sale from any person that walks in to the point if families come in, you better make sure you get them to leave with multiple items because every single body that was in is a sale! I hated it! I felt sad coming in. Really think about working here. 

When I first joined, the team was incredible—supportive, collaborative, and genuinely committed to doing great work. Unfortunately, that changed in late 2024 when leadership shifted. The new management, already part of the company from a different location, quickly undid years of progress. As a person of color, I felt targeted, unheard, and dismissed, especially when raising concerns. It became clear that white staff were given more trust and support, regardless of tenure or performance. The once-strong culture deteriorated, and the quality of both team care and product delivery suffered. If you value a respectful and inclusive workplace, I’d recommend looking elsewhere

Absolute best company I have ever worked for. They truly care about and invest in the retail employees. I received a raise within 3 months of working here, receive consistent feedback on how I’m doing, members of the headquarters team are friendly and eager to help the retail staff, and it feels like I’m working towards an ethical and worthy cause. Can’t say enough good things about Allbirds.

Allbirds is a fairly young brand with a lot of growing to do. The ability to manage people  can make or break a business and they are still figuring this out. Turn over at a management level has lead to lots of inconstancy and disorganization in the retail environment. Product focus is improving as the company has learned a lot from past mistakes. Overall, I have nothing but hope for the future of the company as they figure out areas of improvement. 

The company seems to know how to treat their employees on all levels well with a multitude of benefits and pay opportunities... However, it became clear early on that corporate is not sure what direction to head (as can be seen by the companys declining stock) and seems to have a mentality of throwing stuff at the wall until it sticks - As time went on, more and more customers would complain about a decline in quality.

I hope the company works out its kinks cause it's a solid company with a mission I respect.

Allbirds was one of my favorite places I have worked because of the fantastic management in store and at a district level. My only reason for not giving five stars is because corporate often seemed out of touch with retail and forgot about us in favor of focusing on the online direct to consumer side of the business. Overall great experience though.

It's unbelievable how fast Allbirds is growing as a company but at the same time, the mission and caring culture hasn't changed which shows the company's true values and intentions.  There are opportunities for growth within the company and the team is amazing!

Such a great company! Open communication and transparency throughout with an inspiring culture. Products that actually live up to the hype and a lot of of room for growth and advancement. SO happy to be a part of a company looking to change the footwear industry for the better!

I liked the company culture and the brands mission. I enjoyed the job for the first couple of months but it turned sour quickly. There is constant infighting among management which made the job unnecessarily stressful. If you get on managements bad side, good luck.
