It was real good until it got real bad

Pros

My first few years at Evolve were fantastic, with significant company growth, exciting projects, and a culture of mutual respect and trust. This environment allowed us to move quickly and efficiently. Leadership was involved and supportive, and I was proud to tell people I work here. Despite the challenges of 2023, including multiple layoffs, I still enjoyed working with my fellow individual contributors. The work-life balance was great, and the pay was fair, though raises and career growth stagnated over the past year and a half.

Cons

After the first few good years, everything took a nosedive. Evolve has adopted a mindset where constant pivoting and directional changes are portrayed as strategic, but in reality, just stems from dysfunction, a lack of confident leadership, and a reactive rather than proactive approach. This has resulted in decreased productivity, disempowerment, and demotivation across the company. The ongoing cycle of layoffs, whether publicly announced or quietly executed, only worsens these issues. Employees are experiencing change fatigue as the company struggles to navigate, guided by leadership that seems disconnected and uncertain in their decisions, leading to frequent confusion and revisions as they attempt to find anything that'll work.

Pros

The team that Evolve either laid off or chased out. So they aren't even a pro anymore

Cons

They are creating an incentive program to have people plant good reviews. Please don't buy the "It's great here" reviews and read the OVERWHELMING number of honest reviews. Bad leaders Bad processes Bad communication Lying about outsourcing, it's not for peak season or "transactional tasks". Despite owner and guest dissatisfaction, they are outsourcing nearly all roles. Layoffs Pay cuts Demotion due to the incessant dissolution of vital departments. Massive employee flight They think restructuring is going to save them, 3 restructures in 3 years, that reeks of instability. Refusal to file a WARN act notice for any of their layoffs They ask workers to work off the clock. Apparently it's a "reasonable request" for workers to check emails and respond BEFORE we clock in. Diversity is a joke, they laid off the DEIB leader and mostly defunded the ERGs which nobody can get time to go to anyhow. You will be expected to accept lie, after lie with the pathetic disclaimer that we should Embrace Change. They cannot keep their story straight and they loathe questions about their flailing lack of direction Tech used improperly or incompletely. Duplicate programs cost duplicate the amount but they ignore that. Abysmal culture. The most toxic and ungrateful employer. Senior execs bailing, managers leaving, service roles laid off we can't have half the staff we did a year ago. Lawsuits from guests pending. Numbers over names. They couldn't care less about anyone, just their baseless, inaccurate metrics. The most extreme micromanagement you'll ever experience, and I've got tons of call center experience. You'll be on a PIP based on their poorly operating programs. They do not care one bit about the Evolver Experience. The top of the flywheel is a boldface lie, they've crushed us all underneath it. The company follows an asset light model and has had negative cash flow for some time. The ship has already sunk, to be honest.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. While we always encourage teammates to leave Glassdoor reviews, we can assure you that we have never provided incentive for reviews. We appreciate the additional feedback you have shared with us regarding frustrations and it is never our intention to create the experience you have detailed here. We encourage you to speak with your direct manager or your designated People Business Partner so that we can work together to ensure a more fulfilling experience for you on our team. The decisions and changes made over the last few years were most certainly difficult and were made to put us in a position to be a meaningfully profitable business. These efforts are paying off and ultimately benefit our customers, stakeholders, and teammates alike.

Pros

Remote first company, some good people who work there

Cons

Terrible business plan and leadership only cares about themselves. Very clear they don't know how to run a company. Benefits are not good and pay is average at best
