Pros

It will build your work ethic. Your job title will dictate your opportunities.

Cons

This company cares so little for the actual work environment and culture that it has been emailing its current employees to generate feedback on this site to boost ratings. You will work an extensive amount of hours and not be paid for one minute of overtime, ever. This is not a "competitive" environment; it is a deliberately stressful, unproductive and selfish atmosphere. Your bonuses will not provide adequate compensation for the time you will put in. It pays ~8-10K under market value for whatever your role may be (review your job title's market worth on salary.com and compare it to any offer that's made) with the promise of "a raise, soon" which, in most cases, takes at least a year. Interpersonal relationships run rampant amongst upper management and affect how lower level employees are treated. There is no bar for performance evaluation to evaluate how you are doing until you are either promoted or let go. Turn over is incredibly high and crying on the job is a "rite of passage".

It's all true. Every. Single. Word.

Pros

None. Please run far away if you are considering taking a job here. If you are a current employee checking to see what was posted next, then you already know that no one is safe except for the favorites. And if you are a previous employee, congrats on getting out.

Cons

If you are coming here to read reviews before joining this company, or you are a current employee trying to find out how many people feel a certain way, then my suggestion is to read all the reviews and know they are very much true. I learned the hard way, so don’t make the same mistake. Before I was hired, I questioned the bad reviews. I was told by two different people that those reviews were posted by people who were not hard workers and didn’t fit in. In the meantime, over a year later, more reviews came in saying the exact same things. I can assure you, every single one of those reviews was posted by smart, hard-working people. People who companies would dream of having on their teams. But not this company. A few notes: • In the last 12 months, seven “senior leadership” team members left the company – either their choice or not their choice. One was male, six were female. (You can do some quick research on LinkedIn to verify that.) • As mentioned in so many reviews before this, they use outdated technology, doubling down on their horrific internal tools that don’t suit any business wanting to grow in 2023 and beyond. No chance of tracking the customer lifecycle in any capacity. This ensures that the excellent team members never really know what is going on with the customers that they are trying to help. • The turnover rate, as mentioned in so many other reviews, is staggering. It’s not just people leaving either. Firing people for simple mistakes or not knowing how to do their jobs because of a lack of training is rampant. (You can do some quick research on LinkedIn to verify that too.) • Do not try to submit new ideas for improvement or common sense. The rules here are: “let’s dust off what we did before and just use that”; “We always did it this way”; “You don’t know how we do things.” • The CEO, CSO and CCO are unmistakably ego driven and could care less about you as a person. As another review said, “you all are rude”. You will get yelled out and called names behind your back. You will hear people get yelled out on calls with others and you will hear the leadership team talk poorly about someone else right in front of you. Especially after they are gone. • There is little recognition for a job well done. They had an awards program in place, but no one in senior leadership used it. So, it was mostly amazing lower-level team members congratulating each other – because they were the only ones taking the time to ensure people got a pat on the back. • Lastly, don’t ever, ever take mental health time off. It is unacceptable here. Even after favorites take leaves due to the environment. How short the memories are.

Pros

Not Applicable - There are very little benefits to joining this organization. If you are in a tough position and need to take a role, consider committing yourself to 6 months max for your own mental health.

Cons

It's been said here countless times, avoid reading the '5-star' reviews as they are forced on employees as part of 'HR efforts'. An egotistical CEO, surrounded by 'yes' men and women who are only looking out for themselves and have insulated the executive from any real improvement. It's a waste of time to even make recommendations. Most of the reviews focus on the challenges within the organization - but even more important, the software tool is garbage. Built on exceedingly old tech, riddled with bugs, clunky UI/UX interface - and not a single person in the company can point to a customer use of the platform that lead to tangible benefits for a customer. The only reason people keep buying it is because EHS management is required in the industrial space and the change management required to switch is more of a headache that continuing with a half-baked, frankenstein product.
