Our Ideal Candidate

About Us

We’re not for everyone. We can be a little unconventional. Employees have been known to dress up in costumes at work. We sometimes have a 2 o’clock plank (don’t worry, it’s optional). We try to improve our processes all the time, which drives some people crazy because there is constant change. We strive to embrace failure. We don’t have it all figured out. We make mistakes, but try to learn from them. And most noteworthy of all, we have a crazy busy season that tests the limits every year between the months of April and June. Stress runs high. Systems break. At some point we all wish we worked somewhere else. But we get through it and try to figure out how to make things better for next year.

People Who Thrive Here

Those who are a great culture fit are team players who can jive with us in our high growth and sometimes unpredictable environment. They go the extra mile for the customer. They take their work seriously, but not themselves. Our best employees tend to be light-hearted, yet not afraid of hard work. They enjoy a laugh every now and again and value relationships with each other. They can handle an open office environment and the slightly zany and whimsical nature of our company. They understand that we are not a typical corporate outfit. They’re self-motivated people with integrity and an ability to “figure it out”. The three virtues that make up our ideal candidate can be distilled down to happy, hungry, and people smart.

People Who Do Not Thrive Here

It’s not all puppies and pansies. We’re a small company and we subscribe to the mantra “hire slow, fire fast”. Statistically more than one out of four new employees don’t last more than three years at Nych Brands. We are not for everyone. Our "no remote work" policy, fast growth, somewhat ad hoc approach to training, and “let’s figure this out as we go along” culture are just a few of the things that don’t make us a fit for everyone. Some people thrive on it. Others don’t. Those who don’t are often very good people who need to find something else that aligns with how they are wired and gifted.

Reasons We Might Not Be For You

• No remote or hybrid work: We all work together, from our warehouse team to our customer care team. While some jobs can technically be performed remotely, many warehouse roles cannot. We believe in a unified front—if some employees need to physically come to work, we all come to work. We also value the magic and collaboration that happens in person, which is why we don’t embrace remote work. Exceptions are rare (e.g., contractor visits or focus rooms for quiet work), but our stance is firm: if you want to work remotely, we’re not the right fit.
• High expectations: We set high standards because we believe “good enough” drags down team quality. High achievers want to work with others who push them to be better, so we don’t tolerate prolonged mediocrity. We’ll coach you to reach your potential, but we expect a healthy attitude and a drive to get things done.
• Lighthearted culture: We take our work seriously but not ourselves. If you prefer a very serious, traditional corporate environment, our occasional silliness (like 2pm planks or rubber animal flinging) might not suit you. While we respect the need for space, this isn’t a place for those who prefer to keep to themselves often.
• Comfort with ambiguity: We operate in the “gray.” While we have policies for safety and discrimination, we trust adults to make sound decisions and use logic. If you prefer rigid rules and clear-cut guidelines for every situation, you may not enjoy working here.
