Pros

100 % remote work Staff- overall, the employees are good people Unlimited PTO

Cons

Motus is owned by two private equity firms. The second firm came in as of January, 2023. With being owned by private equity comes big expectations. This puts a significant amount of pressure on the business to delivery from the top down. Motus has been the market leader for a number of years. However, they are starting to lose market because of their pricing approach with trying to win new logo’s and price increases to customers on renewals. Also, due to the current market conditions, prospects and customers are forced to look at alternatives. This is causing the company culture to shift. Most sales people are struggling to hit their numbers because of the big quotas that were assigned at the beginning of the fiscal year. Sales people are being put on 30 day performance plans(which means they really want you out). They fired the CRO who was new. Turnover is happening right now more than usual.

Pros

Honestly, this has been one of the best companies I’ve ever worked for. The WFH setup is great, the benefits are solid, and the work/life balance is real. You’re treated like a professional, and you’re trusted to manage your own desk and get things done. You do need to be good at prioritizing and taking ownership, but if you like that kind of independence, it’s perfect. People are open to feedback too. If you see something that could be better, you can speak up and make suggestions. Overall, just a really great place to work. I genuinely enjoy the people I work with.

Cons

I’d say the salary and bonus structure could be clearer. I don’t always have a good understanding of how those decisions are made, and a little more explanation from leadership would really help.

Pros

The job itself, is easy. Set schedule. PTO and Holidays were generous.

Cons

Leadership issues exist at every level of the organization, from upper management down to frontline supervision. There is very little accountability or advocacy for employees, and local management often seems unwilling or unable to address concerns before they become larger problems. While many of these issues may have existed before Motus took over, the company has done little to improve them and, in many cases, has allowed them to continue unchecked. The workplace culture also suffers from a lack of professionalism. Bullying and disrespectful behavior are often tolerated, creating an environment where negativity spreads rather than being addressed. HR will encourage you to come forward with concerns but having no HR present in the office means you will face social retaliation and whatever professional retaliation leadership can get away with. Employees who consistently work hard and take initiative can feel overlooked, there's no merit in doing a thorough job.
