Pros

Pay and benefits are good for a company this size

Cons

Extremely poor culture. They pride themselves on “running lean” and “being scrappy”. HR is delegated an executive assistant. Leadership keeps talking about growing but they wont even backfill the positions for the folks that leave. They ACTUALLY measure culture by their Glassdoor reviews This company was transformed into a total pump and dump scheme conducted by inside investors including the CEO. The following is all publicly available information… • The company filed for IPO around the time the original founders left. The new CEO has 0 experience in tech, much less as a tech CEO . He’s an investment banker by trade • In March 2021, the company stated (publicly) that they would break even if they could reach 30,000 rental days a week • Stock price jumps substantially following this statement • The CEO dumped a large majority of their shares in late July 2021. • In August 2021, Hyrecar reported they were at 25k weekly rental days, yet operating income has continued to decline substantially. • Stock price cuts in half once the market realizes the prior claims made by Hyrecar were greatly exaggerated • Management claims the drop in operating income were due to “one time” insurance costs, but based on the last earnings release, that also looks to be false. • There is a pending lawsuit for misleading investors. (These can be quite common but often fail because its nearly impossible to differentiate incompetence from gaming the system) • Only 8% of ownership is company insiders. They don't even believe in themselves.

Pros

The engineering team was cool for the most part

Cons

Enormous amounts of secrets and lies Execs have a lot of background in Wall Street and know very little about engineering. There’s constant battling in getting engineering needs filled since they are only capable of understanding sales and operations. Many people are underpaid, and that just reflects the culture. They love taking advantage of people. There’s basically zero perks. You get water, coffee, but then you pay for everything else. Engineering is very undervalued. They will call themselves a tech company, but they’re really just a sales company. Everything is a fight to get anything you want. If you are promised something, such as a promotion, you could be doing the right thing, performing well, but they’re the kind of people that would say “prove it” and sweep what they said under the rug to make more money. It’s a real sick thing to do, but they have no remorse. Take the glowing reviews here with a grain of salt. Just about all of them are fake and were heavily influenced by management to make the company look good and help with hiring. I recognize who is writing a lot of the reviews and I know that’s not what they actually think.

Pros

Hardly any. The beer on tap is good to help you deal with the angry customers that have valid points but nothing gets done if it costs the company any money so you hear the same thing over and over again. The coworkers are definitely the best part of going to work, this company has hit the jackpot with hiring employees that put up with the toxic environment and can still smile and have fun.

Cons

Pay and benefits, salaried employees have multiple roles and consistently work more than 40 hours a week just to try to keep up with the workload but get paid way under market value. If you want to creep up towards market value then you need to befriend certain members of upper management. Benefits are the bare minimum to be considered "benefits". Hardly any career advancement opportunities and they apply the title of "supervisor" instead of "manager" to prevent pay raises. If you did not come from Cal State Fullerton then your chances for advancement are slim to none regardless of your skills or value. The toxic environment where customers are mocked and taken advantage of is supported by the in-office executives who regularly take part in the antics. Office politics run rampant and are a big part of the job if you are someone that wants to advance in the company. Do not come here if you value your time and want to be paid a fair rate.
