Pros

You can wear jeans, in fact you can wear hoodies, sandles, hats. Don't worry about shaving either.

Cons

1) Be transparent. 2) Better is the Only Way. 3) Carry the Load Together. All buzz phrases thrown around by the new talent team. 1) Unfortunately, there is no transparency into your ever-changing pay. Salary absolutely will change every year, and it is always something bad disguised as something good. In reality, they'll pay you just enough to keep you from quitting. 2) It continues to get worse. The only reason I haven't left yet is because I can't get the time off work to interview, talk about a vicious cycle 3) 1 and 2 have created such a toxic atmosphere that all departments are constantly at odds with each other. DO expect to put in long days, and do not expect it to be noticed or appreciated. There are some people here making money, but it isn't from effort. If you drink the kool aid, brown nose the right people, and get a little bit lucky, they will just start giving you accounts. This is the only place I have worked that rewards mediocrity. You will honestly get further by keeping your mouth shut and blending in than by putting in effort or questioning any of the backwards methodology of Echo.

Pros

My time at ECHO was phenomenal, we had an incredible team, a fearless leader and my peers were intelligent, hard working and driven. The company was growing, going into new verticals and hiring both in Chicago and across our regional offices. After COVID the office was too large so they downsized into a really cool industrial modern office. Each desk was outfitted with multiple large monitors and if you need anything tech wise, it was easy to get. They held annual winter parties that were fun and a great way to meet employees in other orgs. Being in HR I was not as involved in the Sales or revenue building activities but I did work closely with the hiring leaders who were excellent. Overall, the company was always looking to improve it's hiring practices and the senior leadership was committed to making ECHO more diverse, which was great to see, and really encouraging.

Cons

I joined at a peak time in ECHO's history and the company was riding a wave of momentum. Unfortunately the good times were fading and the business really started to struggle post supply chain boom. I never got the feeling that the sales team had much energy, there was very little socializing and when you walked by the sales teams, you could hear a pin drop, seemed like most team members were doing very little. It's clear the company was not doing well and instead of shaking things up, nothing really changed. The business was failing and layoffs were constant.
