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.
