Pros

Work alongside intelligent people, but they usually get laid off or find better opportunities after a short tenure at Zum.

Cons

The founders are quick to make poor decisions without consulting their colleagues then leave it to the team to put out the fires and fix their mistakes. No transparency at all. The executives do not have a clear vision of what they want Zum to be and do not take safety as a priority. There have been shady practices done operationally to keep the business afloat. No training opportunities, no room for growth. The company received a round of funding, hired loads of temp workers to solve problems rather than fixing current processes or building new software.

Pros

One thing that stands out to me is the consistency. The schedule is predictable, expectations are reasonable, and the environment remains professional. The position has been a positive experience for me because I know what to expect from week to week.

Cons

I don’t have any concerns about the driving conditions.

Pros

The office was in an accessible location. My coworkers themselves were not difficult to work with.

Cons

• The team's project management system was nothing more than a shared Google Sheet. • The supposed operational infrastructure did not exist. No database, automation, or real task tracking system. • Repeated requests for basic tools were ignored and met with empty promises about future budgets. • The role became constantly inventing solutions while manually doing work proper systems should have handled. • Everything was built on workarounds and personal memory, making growth nearly impossible. • After six months of creating fixes for problems that should have been automated, there was simply nothing left to improve.
