Pros

The ONE thing I can honestly say was good, were the very few genuinely good human beings to work with.

Cons

This company is build on a mountain of lies stemming from its owners and leaders who also treat many, except their favorites, with absolutely abhorrent behavior that would make any lawyer quiver in their loafers. Needless to say, the culture of "radical candor" that the CEO rambled on about for years is one of many lies because if anyone dared to be honest, they'd certainly be punished for it. They allow senior leaders to harass and bully employees to the point of tears, and if complaints are made, those employees will be fired. The biggest bullies are the founders themselves. You are expected to bleed for this company. Work/life balance does not exist unless you're apart of a coveted group, hence the favoritism, and if you don't work to those standards, with some employees quite literally having ended up in hospitals, you will be fired. Understaffed teams are expected to do the impossible. Raises and promotions are given to those who threaten to quit or are favored. There are no real growth opportunities other than to take on insurmountable responsibilities and stresses with the expectations of zero complaints and complacency. This is perhaps the worst and most unprofessional company anyone could ever work for. The ratings have certainly been paid for by an outside company as most companies do. Don't be fooled by what you see here or on their social media posts. All does not appear as it seems.

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.
