Savannah Bee Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most of the employees in the office are cool, and you’ll get to know everyone very well because you’re there all the time. All the time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The massive egos and lack of business understanding by the powers that bee. The owner will spend money they don’t have on things they don’t need, then set wildly unrealistic goals for the departments to make up for it. When they don’t reach goals, they have massive sales and discounts to cover payroll. Which in turn makes it impossible for sales teams to reach elevated goals, because accounts then want to wait for sales.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a toxic, cult-like atmosphere. If you aren’t drinking the honey flavored koolaid, you’re out. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being pulled in 1,000 different directions, then working all night to cover the actual to-do list you had.

Genuinely one of the worst places I’ve ever worked 
The most unnecessarily stressful work environment
You’d think the mission statement of “ save the bees” would mean the company was compassionate but it’s the opposite 
Working at Savannah bee means waking up to angry emails every morning, punishments for reviews under 100%  and management with the maturity levels of high school girls. 
Their pay may be slightly higher for the area but it’s not worth the constant harassment, commute times and 12 hour shifts.
I wouldn’t recommend working here to anyone who values their peace of mind and stability. 

Genuinely the most stressful and toxic work environment I have ever been in. Management and employees are all in a click like highschool girls and if they don’t like you, you’re automatically singled out & talked bad about by everyone. The company focuses more on google reviews and secret shoppers rather than what is actually occurring daily in the work place. Nobody’s does their job properly, but that doesn’t matter. Recognition for doing your job is never given, management only cares about sales and margins. This extends back to corporate and the company as a whole. 

My job was to educate customers about honey bees, honey, honey body care, and mead. The best part of the job is educating a customer who truly appreciates your in-depth understanding of the subject matter. Great workplace along with the culture that employees bring with them. I learned a great amount about all subjects related to the company and it has definitely had a positive impact on my life.

Employees are a click. They lie behind your back. If you are not into their ideals you will be pushed out. I loved my job. I was on time, in uniform, tried to motivate, made sure store was stocked, scheduled events,etc. Only a few ever helped. Very depressing people to work with. I'm not sure how successful they will be if they keep getting rid of good staff. I wish the company well but staff is toxic. I encourage upper management to look past Google reviews and into employees. 

Been working here for a few months and I love having this opportunity. I have never worked with kinder people who share the same goals and interests that I do. The staff are all amazing and definitely brighten up my day. Plus up to fifty percent off merchandise, and Whittany always sets up meetings and get togethers in and outside of the workplace to discuss work and get to know each other. 

Giant facade, seems like a great place until you get in and realize that it’s all a joke. No business mindset, owner makes horrible financial and personal decisions. Hemorrhaging money and you have to stress to make sure they can all drive their brand new range rovers around while hoping you don’t get cut based on the bottom line. Productivity doesn’t matter as long as you fit the culture of no work ethic. You can literally do nothing as long as you’re a pretty female.

Not paying their employees in a timely manner. Employees are not a priority. Everything is fine in their speed not yours. Management constantly has to be reminded of things 20 times before it actually gets taken care of. I really hope this gets seen by someone in the company I have lots of problems but I can’t quit cause I have a child I have to take care of and this is my only job. 

I was a part time 3rd key. Seasonal help got more hours and treated me disrespectful at times. Management said it was ok. I didn't fit the circle. I was the 3rd one to quit for the same reason in 3 months. I did love the work just not the  disfunctional management. Makes it hard to be happy when in a situation like that.

This company completely lacks diversity and has ridiculous management skills. They let go of half the store because they over-planned how many people they actually needed and didn't know anything about the location. The half that was let go were all black. In a place like Atlanta maybe they'll understand the importance of equality in their company. Please don't work here all in all its trash.
