Code3 reviews about "time off"

I have no real cons to note, pay could be a little better but the pay isn’t bad.

Company is losing all of their biggest clients (not good). They don't seem to care much about their employees. There was zero training when I started. Ive worked at several agencies and this is just not a great place.

Code3 has far too many ineffective people in charge. Most show little concern for employees and provide almost no support, while many communicate with unnecessary hostility and disrespect. Daily work becomes exhausting because proper guidance is missing, and meaningful support is rarely provided.

Long hours and not enough resources for a better work-life balance

- salary could be better for market value, my position is worth more now in 2022 than it was in early 2021

Layoffs are constant. At least once a year leading to extreme burn out and fear “I’m next” mentality

Since joining the company, the environment has been marked by repeated layoffs and ongoing instability. These cuts have created significant staffing gaps that have never been properly addressed, leaving remaining employees to absorb increasing workloads with little structural support. Teams are consistently overextended, and while leadership is aware of the resourcing challenges, there has been little meaningful change to address them. Instead, the burden falls on employees to “figure it out” and keep client work moving despite unrealistic workloads. A particularly frustrating dynamic is that employees who go above and beyond to cover gaps are often praised for stepping up, but when the inevitable decline in quality or bandwidth happens elsewhere, the same individuals are criticized rather than leadership acknowledging the structural issues that caused it. Executive leadership also feels disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the organization. There is a noticeable lack of visibility and engagement from the CEO and senior leadership team, which contributes to a growing sense that employee burnout and morale are not a priority. Overall, the culture has become increasingly reactive and stressful, with teams doing their best to deliver under circumstances that feel unsustainable.

Leadership is a mess. There is turnover left and right. Much of this is driven by toxicity and mean girl politics at the ALT level. There’s a new target every quarter and once it’s you, watch out. The way a particular ALT member speaks so condescendingly to her team, her peers, her superiors is outrageous. But it’s “not wrong”. Everyone works in fear. There is zero autonomy even at director and above levels. Expect to be treated like a child over semantics until you are eventually let go. Leadership continues to point the problem everywhere except the toxic source.
