Pros

unlimited PTO, EXCELLENT medical, dental and vision coverage, a great team of people to work with, paid access to LinkedIn training/talent development courses. Management has said consistently since one: "Do what you have ot do - just get your job done. You have to take your dog to the vet? Do what you have to do. You have to go home and let in the repairman (or work from home so as to be there for him? Do what you have to do - just get your job done.

Cons

inter-departmental communication could be better; pay is generally lower, it seems, as we often lose team members who get better paying offers.

Pros

Great culture and Flexibility; Somewhat regular company celebrations

Cons

One of many of HotSchedules' companies makes consistent profits and those are used to fund other companies where profit margins are not as consistent or simply losing money. Not enough credit and concern for paying employees what they are worth for a company that consistently turns a profit. Cost of living is never addressed seriously in within cities that are growing rapidly.

Toxic Culture

Pros

The only pro I can think of is getting commission from a new concept opening.

Cons

My experience at this company was extremely disappointing. If you are considering working here, I strongly encourage you to carefully read the reviews and look for consistent themes. Shortly after I joined, it became clear that the culture was not what it appeared to be during the interview process. I observed what I would describe as a toxic work environment. In one instance, an employee who reported concerns about a hostile environment began receiving unexpected write-ups and increased scrutiny shortly after speaking up. From my perspective, it created a culture where employees felt unsafe raising legitimate concerns. There was a clear message: speaking up could negatively impact your standing. Leadership may present as supportive on the surface, but transparency and psychological safety were lacking. Trust was difficult to build, and information shared in confidence did not always feel protected. There were also operational challenges. Meetings were frequent but often lacked clear outcomes or action items, which made it difficult to drive meaningful progress. The environment felt highly reactive, with constant fire drills and client churn. Instead of focusing on long-term customer outcomes, there was heavy emphasis on activity metrics, such as the number of QBRs conducted, rather than the impact or value delivered to clients. Additionally, accountability appeared inconsistent. Certain individuals were allowed to behave unprofessionally without meaningful consequences, which negatively impacted team morale. Turnover was high, and in my opinion, that reflects deeper cultural and operational issues. Overall, this was one of the most challenging experiences of my career in tech. I would recommend asking thoughtful questions about leadership style, employee retention, and how concerns are handled internally before accepting an offer.
