Pros

Everfi has hired amazing loyal people at the company. They have an amazing mission and being a category creator there is unfortunately the leadership and product isn’t.

Cons

Talent is leaving left and right, the founding leadership is change resistance and let a company be built up only on the value of proof of concept but never thought about process or using the money to make a product that works. We are told not to ever be negative, even if it suggesting a solution... The founders just over promised and under deliver like classic salesmen. Then because of their short comings they tell account management to just talk their way out under delivering forgetting we are for profit. They also pay well under market, leadership thinks it’s still 2008 and we should just be lucky for jobs. Leadership has never addressed why we didn’t get our 401k match back and worse they put money into ego projects that have zero ROI for the employees in major Mays to show they care such as better paternity leave, better salary, or being a company that is the gold standard in DE&I vs just selling a vision of it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. It is important to note that several of these assertions about our people and organization are simply not representative of the strides and investments our organization is making, particularly with regard to benefits, compensation, DE&I and product. Our leadership team has heard and acted on feedback over the last year and we’re proud of the improvements we’ve made and have a roadmap to make in these areas and recognize we have continued room for improvement, as any growing and evolving organization does. We recognize that this is ongoing work and we’re currently building and expanding our internal DE&I focus and implementing programming for all employees. We’ve received ample employee feedback to confirm we’re on the right path and continue to solicit additional feedback in order to better serve our employees' needs. We see ourselves entering a new and exciting era. If there are specific issues you would like to raise, we encourage you to reach out to our COO or Talent Department to better understand and address your concerns.

Pros

EVERFI hires talented, committed, mission-driven people, and the company has been able to pull off some great local publicity given that the products offered attempt to tackle issues that are meaningful and salient in today's society. The company also offers mild flexibility to work remotely when needed, although remote employees are often excluded and treated as "lesser than."

Cons

The Founder/President has taken to yelling at employees during town halls, evading any responsibility for the toxic culture that has been cultivated within the organization. It is embarrassing and completely counter-productive to making new hires and others who are struggling with the "favorites" culture feel like they belong. Rather than offering employees wildly inflated titles without support or fair compensation, consider actually investing in employees by paying competitive wages and paying men and women fairly for equal work. The company's reputation cannot be saved by superficial magazine recognitions – the culture starts with positive leadership and employees who feel that they are treated like the professionals that they are. The recidivism rate is SO high that employees are generally doing the job of at least two people, and the least the company can do is to pay those people fair wages. No amount of snacks can make up for that.

Pros

Benefits and Tom Davidson seems like a genuinely nice guy. He is personable and responsive to his employees.

Cons

Leadership is self focused first and cannot be direct about anything. They were deliberately vague and evasive to avoid being upfront and honest. They also dedicated their efforts into making the job harder in an effort to decrease streamline effectiveness. They were generally rude, disrespectful, and spoke down to everyone regularly. The culture is hierarchical and their sales tactics are breakneck which is giving them a negative reputation in the market. Its unfortunate a company fighting for such a noble cause is ran with such a negative focus.
