Pros

The people are definitely the best part, 90% of people in the company are awesome and willing to help with anything. Promotion is there if you are willing to do whatever the boss says and at any time of the day.

Cons

Low pay for leadership positions, guilted into working over your schedule, most of the time working with a skeleton crew, most customers blame you for everything

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
