Pros

Bonuses are great, and the culture started out fantastic. The small company allows you to try new things. The CEO has a vision of where he wants to see the company go.

Cons

Poisonous company culture. SFCG spends a lot of money on food and parties, but those only get you so far. The company has it's own clique. Be careful when considering whether to work here or not. Pay attention to other reviews inside indeed.com as well.

Pros

- Supportive, People-First Culture - Emphasis on Work/Life Balance - Collaborative and Solution-Oriented Environment - Opportunities for Professional Development - Comprehensive Benefits Package There are really a lot of great reasons to work at Motiv but #1 is the culture. It's clear from day 1 that the Executive Team prioritizes the well-being of its employees and strives to create an enjoyable and engaging work environment.

Cons

There's honestly little I would change about Motiv. Like any company, it's not perfect, but they actively work on improving any issues that arise.

Pros

•Talented coworkers who genuinely care about doing good work •Competitive benefits and profit-sharing structure •Leadership communicates frequently and emphasizes transparency (in theory)

Cons

• Day-to-day experience didn’t align with “employee-first” messaging • Office politics and favoritism were noticeable • Growth and compensation expectations set during hiring weren’t consistently honored • Employee feedback and process improvement ideas were often ignored • Employees were expected to excel with limited support or empowerment • Terminations felt sudden and lacked transparency • Some employees were terminated without clear cause shortly before using pre-approved PTO, resulting in lost earned time off and missed paid holiday closures
