Great mission overshadowed by incompetent C-Suite

Pros

The mission is a real one and the impact has the potential to truly help the financially underserved

Cons

Where to start. The major issues of Earnin all stem from the inexperienced, incompetent and bullying leaders that have no business in the roles they’re in. The fact that these hires happened in the first place is concerning (how does the board approve these people?!), but then that these “leaders” continue to hold such positions after proving time and time again that they can’t do the job is ludicrous. Additionally, there is no accountability by said leaders and they continuously push blame onto their team and direct reports, rather than actually trying to learn how to do their role and or manage a team. Not to mention leadership doesn’t actually do any work and treats their employees like dogs to cover the fact they have no idea what they’re doing, favoring those subordinates that are lazy but tow the line by being obsequious rather than actually creating value.

Bad management; Lost vision

Pros

- They pay 30% more than market.

Cons

- The product features are all over the place, they're just trying to retrofit user fit after they think of a product line. - Their brand values and company values are all no talk no walk. - It was a good company that lost its vision because the CEO chose to trust only a small handful of people who are only interested in playing politics. - All good talent either left on their own because they were not heard and eventually saw smoke from afar or were let go because they brought good ideas to the table. Management doesn't want your expertise; they want yes men. A quote from the CEO when he changed the company values that were horribly articulated- "Agree to these value or leave. Nobody will have a say in this".
