Very poor leadership and culture

Pros

Not a lot… I love the working with my immediate team members. Anything outside of that is extremely challenging.

Cons

Leadership decisions destroying our culture piece by piece. They decide things without any real context or input from people actually doing the work. Minimal raises, no promotion paths - prefer to hire outside rather than promote internally. No empathy or compassion from upper leadership. Us lowly plebs doing the work don’t matter. We are seen as easily replaceable even if you are an experienced veteran of the job. Leadership expects 50-60 hour weeks and continues to pile on more and more work but is not willing to compensate for it. Leadership tells everyone how good we are doing in company-wide meetings but bonuses, compensation, and overall appreciation reflect the exact opposite. You are much more likely to get reprimanded for 1 mistake out of a hundred attempts than appreciated for the 99 successful attempts. Sales is the only position the company cares about, all others don’t matter. Dishonesty from leadership is rampant. Promises of promotions/compensation for additional work but go back on their word. They’d rather you just do multiple jobs for no compensation. Incompetent payroll - mistakes are made with payroll on almost a monthly basis but no one seems to care.

Cyncly a place where employees live in constant fear

Pros

Some teams have talented and hardworking people who try their best despite the environment. • The company is growing through acquisitions, so there are opportunities to work on new projects. • Depending on the department, some flexibility exists for remote work.

Cons

Cyncly is not the company it claims to be. They promote themselves as a great place to work, but behind the scenes, employees are overworked, mentally drained, developing health problems and constantly living in fear of losing their jobs. Employees are kept in constant anxiety, afraid to take time off, afraid to push back, and afraid to get sick. 1. High Turnover and Poor Job Security Cyncly has a high turnover rate, with employees frequently leaving or being let go. While leadership presents this as normal business restructuring, the reality is that many employees are quietly pushed out due to sudden performance concerns or shifting company priorities. • There is no real job security—one day you are performing well, and the next, you are unexpectedly told that your role is no longer needed. • Employees who were once praised for their work may suddenly find themselves on performance improvement plans without clear explanations. • Long-term employees with strong track records have been let go with little notice. While restructuring is common in large companies, the lack of transparency and communication from leadership creates uncertainty and fear among employees. 2. Leadership Prioritizes Optics Over Employee Well-Being Cyncly’s leadership focuses heavily on brand image, acquisitions, and company growth but does not prioritize creating a stable and healthy work environment for employees. • Decisions that impact employees’ day-to-day work are often made without input from the people actually doing the work. • Communication from leadership is vague and does not address real concerns employees have. • There are frequent changes in leadership structure, priorities, and projects, making it difficult to feel any long-term stability. 3. Pressure to Perform at Unsustainable Levels There is a high-pressure culture where employees are expected to take on more work with fewer resources. • Workloads can become overwhelming, and instead of addressing concerns, leadership expects employees to “just push through.” • Burnout is common, and employees are made to feel that asking for support is a sign of weakness. • Taking time off can feel risky, as workloads do not decrease while employees are away, making it harder to take breaks without falling behind. 4. Limited Support for Employees Who Need Flexibility While Cyncly promotes the idea of work-life balance and flexibility, the reality is that employees who need accommodations, extended time off, or a lighter workload due to personal circumstances may find themselves facing increased scrutiny. • Employees who take time off for medical reasons often return to a higher workload. • There is an unspoken expectation to always be available, even when out of office. • Some employees who have needed flexibility have later found themselves on the company’s layoff list. 5. HR is Reactive, Not Proactive HR exists to protect the company, not employees. • Concerns are “acknowledged” but rarely addressed in meaningful ways. • HR will listen to feedback but often does not act unless the issue becomes a legal risk. • Policies that sound great on paper do not always reflect the actual work culture. Cyncly is not the company it claims to be. They promote themselves as a great place to work, but behind the scenes, employees are overworked, mentally drained, and constantly living in fear of losing their jobs. This company thrives on fear and manipulation. Employees are kept in constant anxiety—afraid to take time off, afraid to push back, and afraid of being the next one to be quietly pushed out.

Medium/heavy workload. Strategy set by C-suite could often be better informed by frontline employees.
