Pros

Generous PTO package & employees are dedicated to the company, despite the company not caring much about them or their needs.

Cons

Toxic Leadership Dynamics: The company was dominated by white male leadership, with female leaders leaving the organization, signaling a lack of support for diversity and inclusion. Idea Theft by Leadership: Leadership frequently stole ideas from employees and presented them as their own, undermining trust and collaboration. Disrespectful VPs: Vice Presidents showed little to no regard for employees, fostering a culture of disrespect and disregard for contributions. Anti-Family Culture: The organization lacked a family-first ethos, leaving employees struggling to balance work and personal life. Client Mismanagement: Clients were allowed to overstep boundaries, with the company bending over backward at employees' expense. Deceptive Practices: The company misrepresented fees to clients, creating an environment of dishonesty and eroding trust. Empty Promises: Leadership frequently promised clients unrealistic outcomes, setting teams up for failure. Unrealistic Goals: Goals were arbitrarily increased with little regard for feasibility, causing stress and burnout. Opaque and Unfair Compensation: The company lacked transparency about commissions and distributed them unfairly, leaving employees feeling undervalued. Exploitative Culture: Employees were treated as expendable resources, with little care for their well-being or professional development.
