Pros

you can work from home

Cons

Management is awful and unwilling to listen to suggestions to make it a better place. They laid off a bunch of people due to "cost reduction" 3 days after Christmas. They didn't give them any notice, very minimal compensationpackage, and refused to pay out vacation or sick time. My friends lost a lot of time that was earned. No 401K match No bonus or incentives Their idea of employee recognition is nothing more than a popularity contest. Too many people were being recognized so management had to come up with a ridiculous list of criteria. 1 raise in 3 years and it was only 3%. People team/HR is extremely slow to respond, and they're not helpful to lodge a complaint. You're better off just keeping your mouth shut or you'll become the next target. Don't even get me started on nepotism, it's everywhere in this company. If you decide to work here, learn who the favorites are right away and never cross them. Especially the favorite managers that can do no wrong. All the Ceo is worried about is being able to take the company public. Their financial goals are so unrealistic... hence the big lay off. And they beg their employees to fill out the survey as one of the best companies to work for.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! A 5-star rating after three years carries REAL weight, and it means a great deal to us! Flexible schedules, genuine work-life balance, and regular learning opportunities are things we want to be table stakes at Elevate. Hearing that they're consistently part of your experience tells us we're getting the fundamentals right. The communication gap around case load assignments is a fair flag: even one breakdown in clarity can create unnecessary stress, and that's worth fixing. We're reviewing how assignments are communicated to ensure all Elevaters always have what they need to hit the ground running.

Pros

Contact of work was decent but not particularly challenging. Schedules were unpredictable because of client demands but overall could be managed if one was OK with 12 hour days.

Cons

Celebrate heroism versus day-to-day smooth operation. Made people believe the only way to get recognized was to commit unnatural acts

Thank you for a review that is both generous with the stars and honest about the experience. The distinction you've drawn between celebrating heroism and rewarding consistent, reliable performance is one that gets to the heart of how well meaning recognition cultures can go wrong. That's not the culture we want to build, and your feedback is a useful mirror. We’re examining how recognition and rewards are structured at Elevate to ensure that steady, high-quality contribution is valued as much as crisis response. Your advice to management is noted, and taken seriously.
