Pros

the benefits (100% coverage on insurance, reimbursement for public transit) , the office( sit/stand desk, FREE coke machine, free beer, game room), other departments being accessible at all times ( that is a true live saver at times), AWESOME Executive staff- on that Kara Brown (VP of Marketing) always there if you need things and open to your ideas and Brian Simms (COS) there to boost the sales teams and knowledge of sales to help them succeed. Sales Managers are great at connecting with all sales reps to help on their strengths and weakness, they are able to relate to them based on their personalities. Given leads and the tools to make the sales, base pay is really good. Nate Morris is by far the best owner i have ever worked for. He makes you feel so pumped about Rubicon, your job and his staff. He has an open door policy and returns all emails with in 24 hours. I dont know any CEO or top executive that will come mingle and reply to entry level staff. If for no other reason HE is why I would have a hard time leaving. He really inspires you.

Cons

the turn over is high, some of the expectation can be unreachable, there is favoritism for some employees ( they are held to a difficult standard and given accounts and tools they haven't earned). nothing is black and white (mostly because it is a start up), the commission structure is not equal to all reps (new to old). Overall, you are going to have bad things and people at any job, but this place has great potential. The management/executive team is open and upfront when there are MAJOR issues.

Pros

No one knows what is going on, so no one can blame you for anything. Even though benefits are decent - healthcare handcuffs and remote work - wages are low and competent employees are fleeing when they find any other job, leaving lower level employees with 4+ different bosses in a 2 year timespan.

Cons

"New" leadership continues to lay off women and employees of color, while bringing in/promoting unqualified Good Ol' Boys (and Girls) from their old jobs, and the CEO threw a tantrum when this was called out via Glassdoor. Zero job security, racism, communication silos, and leaving All Hands just flabbergasted that the CEO says what he says are all common experiences. No one knows what is going on and turnover is seemingly high, so process improvement is nearly impossible since there is no one to ask for help. Longtime employees were all let go or quit. Higher ups pretend to be so busy that they can't even respond to emails, while the actual busy people are expected to respond within hours. Leadership still doesn't have a clue what half of the company does.
