Pros

Fully remote workforce with the exception of warehouse staff and a handful of people that choose to go to the Tampa office. Middle Management absolutely has your back to the best of their ability. People on your team are always happy to help you, which is another product of the middle management.

Cons

ELT is completely oblivious to the lack of moral that is occurring across just about every department. No one that I have spoken to feels safe in their position and turnover (especially in Sales) has been at an all time high. The products that we are selling are no only sub-par functionality wise, but the price is not justifiable. We are forcing clients to move CMS platforms and ELT is angry and confused when clients leave due to forced migrations and unexpected hardware costs. COMISSION IS HORRIBLE. Recent changes to the commission structure have dropped my take home to less than half of the previous year. I am going months without a commission check and we are not eligible for "merit increases". Toxic work environment. Non stope finger pointing looking for someone to blame and scold.

Pros

The culture here is excellent! The CEO even has open calls with the entire company to take feedback and questions. I feel valued and respected which I can't say for many companies I've worked for in the past. The autonomy I'm allowed in this role is priceless. No one is micro managed here. I have a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility and the work-life balance is amazing. I feel that the leadership genuinely cares about their teams and treats them as people instead of just employees.

Cons

While I feel the pay is adequate, there's always room for improvement, especially as everything has gotten so expensive. That being said, the pros above makeup for it and then some. Frequent travel isn't for everyone. I happen to enjoy it and it works for me but I could see this being a con for some. Sometimes communication between internal departments can be clunky and slow. This is an attribute of most growing companies and I suspect it will improve organically.

Pros

There are some really remarkable people that work at Spectrio.

Cons

Executive Suite besides a couple is absolutely toxic and have so little trust in those they make responsible to run day to day. They weaponize HR as spies in both trying to get information and spying on the employees computers. They force clients to upgrade when not required and make people responsible for metrics they have no ability to control. Share the financials at the year end review not some padded presentation that is all flash no substance.
