Pros

The pros are that if you like being lied to, and you like being micro-managed to death, and you like pizza once a month shoved in your face as a “benefit,” and you like having no hand soap in bathrooms, and you like staring at concrete walls wondering what the hell you’re doing with your life, you love being cheated out of money, and you love coming to work wondering how many other possible things could go wrong when you think they’re at their worst already, you’re going to love this place. If you’re desperate for a job, at least go to Lakeland office and not California where you can actually breathe a little without suffocating.

Cons

Everything is a con. Karen Sutherlin is a narcissistic, evil, and completely disgusting human being. She had zero experience running a business prior and completely forced herself into the role. She simply wants people to believe that she’s important. I can’t help but think how much better and stronger of a company fusionZONE would have been without her. Completely didn’t understand technology and acted like she had the right answers. Ignored all the right suggestions by people. Created pressure when it wasn’t even needed. Bragged about things that shouldn’t be bragged about. Forced people to write 5 star reviews. Trust me, she forced me, and I wrote one, and now I discovered that I can delete it, so I did. I would recommend others do the same. Seriously, just look at the reviews. You get on here and tell the truth about Karen or Brett and sure enough, the next review is how amazing they are... hahahaha! Such a joke! Did I mention the grotesque turnover at this company? Good luck remembering anyone’s name. They’re here today and gone tomorrow. I remember all the days I walked in and a new person was in a new seat and was never introduced by anyone, ever. Managers should especially let us know who the hell this is so we can welcome them. I guess that lack of a welcome was exactly indicative of what they were getting themselves into. If you’re still at FZ, I pray for you daily.

Pros

Most of the coworkers were very friendly and had a strong sense of comrodery as a result. Fully remote work allows for some flexibility. Generally inclusive and diverse.

Cons

The clientele (car dealers) that you work with can at times be both incredibly rude and demanding. The pay for the amount of work and number of hours put in is far below industry average. (Especially for devs) Constant layoffs and downsizing makes it feel as if you're auditioning for your job daily. There's little to no opportunity for upward movement within the company. When it comes to upward mobility most people get a title change, and a small pay bump that barely accounts for the rise of inflation. The management system is generally lacking, using a "POD" system. Rather than report to the head of your respective department, you report to a manager that has been put in place above a group of people all from different departments. Reporting to and having your performance evaluated by someone who has little to no experience working in your area can be frustrating. Overall the auto industry as a whole is on the decline and Fusionzone is not immune to these effects. What was once an inviting company with promise of growth has degraded in to a husk of it's former self. Judging by the general decline in the last few years the best hope Fusionzone has of staying afloat is an acquisition from a former competitor.
