Pros

Lots of opportunity for growth and to specialize in niche services. The people are great. The company's vision is solid.

Cons

Before June 2024, there were an average of 2 to 4 reviews per month on Glassdoor, with a wide range of ratings, and more 1-star reviews than 5-star reviews. However, since the beginning of June, there have been over 100 5-star reviews, many of which are generic and do not include a job title. It seems very suspicious that the number of reviews has suddenly increased from 3 to 30 reviews per month, which is more than some publicly traded firms. It is highly doubtful that 5% of the company suddenly submitted unsolicited 5-star reviews on Glassdoor at the same time. The company's culture has taken a negative turn, and operations are borderline dysfunctional. Middle management views people as expendable resources rather than valuable assets and treats them accordingly. The new accounting system is a disaster, but leadership refuses to take responsibility or even acknowledge the negative impacts it has on profits and employee well-being.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
