Pros

Some nice coworkers. Product leadership is trying

Cons

The management team is deeply dysfunctional. After a few MBRs, it’s clear that while the C-level does a lot of talking, there’s no real action plan to unify the product portfolio, implement modern marketing tactics, or address customer churn. The Sales team’s approach hasn’t changed in a decade, the new marketing leader is more focused on impressing the CEO than driving results, and while the product team tries to innovate, they lack corporate support. Our channel strategy is inconsistent and lacks direction (strategy is good but execution is not there)

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
