Pros

Pros: - A few dedicated employees genuinely want the company to succeed, and their efforts stand out. - Yearly bonus provides some financial incentive. - On-site fitness center is a nice perk for health and wellness. - Hybrid work model offers flexibility between office and remote work.

Cons

Company suffers from a serious lack of integrity and professional ethics. Many employees do not contribute meaningfully. Managers are fully aware that some employees abuse the system by failing to record their PTO hours when they are not working, effectively giving themselves extra time off. Yet these employees remain on payroll without consequences, and these same employees fail to perform in their positions, while their managers often turn a blind eye instead of addressing the issue. Advancement is not based on merit or performance, but rather on popularity, which creates a toxic and unfair environment. The procurement team is particularly concerning as they lack the necessary knowledge and expertise to perform effectively. Overall, the culture discourages accountability and growth, leaving motivated employees frustrated and undervalued.

Pros

Company is evolving, which always comes with struggles. But there are great people here, who genuinely care about you. It sucks that Brecksville is closing, but I do appreciate the 2 year notice. We get bonus payouts every year, some years are better than others but that's also business.

Cons

Frustrating to have benefits go up in out of pocket and down in LZ contribution, essentially pay cuts for all employees. Company is showcasing all the wins we have as a company, the business we are winning, the brand new locations we're building, while simultaneously saying we have to change benefits because we're self-insured and it's too expensive. Changed in-office policy to 4 days in office, and remote employees have to come in 2 days a week. Workloads continue to rise while we make up another senior director role who will just tell middle management and their teams to do more with less.
