Pros

Decent pay Coworkers Music playing while working

Cons

CANNOT WORK REMOTE!!! They claim to be an innovative company yet they do not allow people to work from home. They care about their clients, but they do not care about the employees. If they did they would listen to them and allow them to work from home. We Have Fun!! Is what they say, yet no one appears to be having fun. Only the higher ups have fun with their friends who also work for the company. Claim to be a cool company that provides lunch, but they do not have chefs. Instead of fresh food we have nasty microwave food. The meals do not always arrive, so you would have to plan a backup lunch.

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the opportunity to provide your feedback for our company. Receiving direct feedback is incredibly important to Review Wave in order for us to continuously make improvements to employee experience. As Human Resources Specialist for Review Wave, making sure that I understand all our current and former employee's concerns and addressing them appropriately is of the utmost importance to me. Review Wave takes great pride in the culture and team that we have assembled throughout the years. The greatest testament to this culture is the amount of feedback we receive from current and former referencing that working alongside amazing colleagues play a huge factor in their experience at the company. As such, Review Wave makes sure to emphasize to all candidates during the interview process that the position they are applying for is a 100% in person position. I am also sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the ICON meals provided to you as an added employee benefit of Review Wave. These meals are meant to be healthy, portable, and an easy way to ensure all employees are able to have a warm lunch daily, despite lunch hours being staggered. Our operations team works diligently to ensure that these meals arrive on time each week and while on rare occasions supply chain difficulties delay the arrival of meals, our operations team makes sure to provide advance notice to offices if meals are expected to be delayed. I appreciate this feedback regarding company provided meals and will ensure that it is communicated to leadership. Thank you again for your time in providing us feedback and I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed our open floor plan, fun upbeat music, and that you enjoyed your experience working in office alongside our team! If you have any other ideas for improvement, please reach out at any time! - Katelyn, Human Resources

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.

We are actively focused on listening to our team members, supporting our managers, communicating expectations clearly, and creating an environment where people feel valued, respected, supported, and able to grow.
