Pros

The comp at Homebase is competitive and the people are passionate and inspiring folks to work with. Get to work with and for some really inspiring small businesses.

Cons

The work-life is poor and burnout is an issue. Micro-managing happens often, and the pressure is high.

Pros

- Great mission - Great people to work with - Free lunch on office days

Cons

Lack of transparency: The CEO repeatedly assured employees in company-wide meetings that the company was financially healthy, even mentioning that a competitor was planning layoffs while we were in a strong position. However, shortly after, the company unexpectedly announced its own layoffs. This disconnect between leadership's messaging and actions severely impacted trust within the organization.

Hi there, we have not done any layoffs since 2020 during Covid. We did make some adjustments to staffing levels within different teams to rebalance against our goals for the year, as we do all of the time. Sometimes this means saying bye to good performers on the team, which is unfortunate, but it's generally pretty limited in scope as we make changes. However, we make these changes so that we can maximize our impact every year helping local businesses. We are currently hiring as a company across a variety of roles.
