Pros

A good amount of cool coworkers

Cons

Use to be a fun place to work that cared about the client, product and employees. They stoped promoting from within and only hire outside for meaningful positions. The new managers and execs don’t know anything about the product or clients and don’t really care to learn. They just make changes to SOPs and spend all day making useless dashboards in salesforce. The sop changes just make it harder for people to do their job and the dashboards just tell us what we already know, churn is on the rise, sales are on the decline, and it takes months and months to onboard new clients. The product was once great, but because competitors have caught up they just try to push out new features as fast as possible even though they don’t work correctly. Instead of fixing the bugs and making a useable product they move onto the next shiny feature. The culture they have relies on flexing that 90s rappers perform at the Christmas party, which I’ll admit is cool for about 5 minutes and then you realize that’s the reason everyone’s Christmas bonus gets cut year after year. They are lucky the job market is so bad or I know about 75% of the team would have left.

Pros

In-House Chiropractor, Provided Lunch, Nice Office, Great Co-Workers, Fun Environment and Upward Mobility. The upward mobility is hyper-dependent on the individual and the work they put in. Promotions are not given at this company, they are earned through continuous and consistent great work.

Cons

This is not an environment where you can coast. You have expectations of work to be done every day, week and month and you are held accountable to those metrics.

Pros

You develop thick skin fast.

Cons

If you are considering working here, please seriously protect your mental health and think twice. Aloha is emotional exhaustion disguised as hustle culture. You are not treated like a human being here, you are treated like a metric. Instead of constructive coaching, the environment feels centered around tearing employees down, creating anxiety, and keeping people in a constant state of stress and fear. Metrics and expectations are constantly changing, making it feel nearly impossible to ever truly succeed or feel accomplished no matter how hard you work. I personally experienced a major decline in my mental health while working here, and I was far from the only one. Burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion felt normalized rather than addressed. Many employees looked mentally drained, yet were blamed for “not wanting it bad enough”. The CEO creates an environment built on fear, pressure, and financial insecurity rather than genuine leadership or mentorship. Motivation often felt rooted in making employees feel replaceable. The CEO cares about his personal image, money, and status while employees were left mentally and emotionally drained. The overall culture often felt immature, negative, and unprofessional. The gossip, disrespect, constant negativity, and behavior from upper management felt more like high school drama than a professional workplace. It created an environment where employees felt uncomfortable, unsupported, and emotionally exhausted before the workday was even over. There are far healthier companies where you can receive strong coaching, better compensation, real career growth, work-life balance, and leadership that actually values employees as people instead of production numbers. Save yourself.
