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.

An amazing concept for out of work theater/stage actors to have steady income while also being able to pursue their craft.

Minpunten

You’d have better chances of landing safely on a Boeing plane flying through a hurricane than having a positive experience working for this company. The owners are a husband and wife team who are in over their heads KNOWINGLY. They state they are open to and actively solicit feedback from team members with more professional experience. But they do not action feedback, instead they retaliate. The wife and COO spends most evenings surveilling the staff for anything she feels could have been better and then screams at leadership to pass along the tyrannical message to other staff. I was laid off within the year I was hired and yet held accountable for declining business DESPITE the 3 year long YoY net revenue loss of 45% or greater. They refuse to accept that their formula is failing while draining the company of operating cash flow. I was warned about the company before joining, and it was shared that they’d had problematic behaviors in the past but had improved. That is a complete farce. Leadership is so worried about their stained image that they actually created fake dummy LinkedIn accounts to solicit feedback from me on my experience working there after they laid me off. If it were possible, I’d give them zero stars. No workplace is perfect, and most do their best. I would typically never complain and I waited quite awhile to share this but I feel any perspective employee should know just how horrible of an environment this company is.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Glassdoor reviews often include a mix of personal experience, emotion, and sometimes hyperbole, so I try to read them carefully to find any useful insights or areas for improvement. I’ll be honest — I’m struggling with some of the claims in your review. We don’t surveil our team, no one is being screamed at, and I can say with certainty we don’t use fake LinkedIn accounts. If someone reached out to you, it wasn’t us. I also want to address the sexist undertones in your message. The comments about “screaming” and a “high-pitched and squeaky voice” unfairly link vocal tone to competence and integrity, which is a classic and harmful bias that women in leadership often face. Even Tasia's warmth and smile are framed as manipulative, echoing a tired and offensive stereotype often directed against women. It’s clear your time here was frustrating, and I’m genuinely sorry it wasn’t a better fit. I hope your next role offers a more positive experience. — Michael
