Pros

Growing quickly! A chance to be a part of something that could be huge.

Cons

Lots of talk about work-life balance, but the work load does not support it. Open office plan concept isn't for everyone.

Thanks so much for writing this review. We hear you load and clear, and we are acting with Velocity to remedy the situation. There is always a lot of lip service paid at companies around work life balance. Well, we are committed to resolve the issue. A big part of work life balance is hiring. Our company is growing so fast, that to put it simply, we haven't been able to hire as quickly as we would like. We can assure you we are thinking outside the box here. For example, in November the executive team made what is equivalent to a $6 million dollar investment in LinkedIn. That investment made it possible for every employee of Velocity Global to have a LinkedIn Recruiter License, this is huge. No other company has ever done this. It gives all of our "Owner-Employees" at tool to reach out to all of their friends, family members and former colleagues to encourage them to apply. Unlike other companies, we empower all our employees to help build an amazing company and create a culture that gives back not only to our fellow teammates, but to our communities and the world. Please, please, please be patient. Take the advice our CEO gave today in our meeting. Take the time you need this holiday season to recharge. And when you have a moment, reach out to your friends, family members, and former colleagues with your LinkedIn recruiter seat and invite them to the apply to our open roles. Tell them we are growing rapidly, so they may have to put in a little extra time initially, but it will be worth it. Thanks again for all you do that we don't see. And thanks for telling us what you need. We are committed, all of us, every single employee, to help one another succeed. We need your help and help is on the way. Let's Crush Yesterday Together. Global Talent Acquisition Team Ps. Our reviews are not written by our legal team. We believe in honest, straight talk. We are open and transparent with all our imperfections and flaws. But one things is incontestable, we love what we do here.

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
