Thank you for your feedback. Our team does enjoy the opportunity to try many few roles and the flexibility that remote work offers. We do move fast and have high expectations and that does sometimes mean tight deadlines. We are actively hiring to add more resources to most teams right now so hang tight, more help is on the way!

Pros

The culture created by the employees was the best I've ever experienced. We truly worked as a team no matter what department you were in. Above the team lead level, you wont feel that connection. benefits (not compensation) were pretty good

Cons

Jerry will be successful but they will continue to cut employees and spread the workload to others. I saw a number of employees let go; a few not even because of performance, and the workload of these individuals was only given to others. Jerry likes to "promote" employees and then add completely new expectations a month later without any additional compensation. There were very unclear expectations, and often changing responsibilities. When there were salary and quarterly reviews, it was hard to "meet"+ expectations because expectations changed so often. Even if you met or even exceeded performance goals, often you were told "needs improvement". I understand that things changed quite often but it's very unfair to say "needs" improvement when you cannot present clear expectations for even 3 months.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Teamwork is how we operate here at Jerry. We have had a lot of changes to our customer service and sales team in the past few years. As we improve our product and our operations, we do continue to refine expectations and role requirements to meet business needs. We recognize an environment with a lot of change is not for everyone and will work hard to make sure those changes are clear for our current staff. We appreciate the feedback.

Pros

I joined Jerry as a seasoned exec and have been happily surprised. There are various reasons for that, but the top ones are: * The business has achieved a certain level of traction, thanks to a lot of focus, strategy and execution. But what got us here won’t be enough to get us where we want to be — to become world class. Jerry's leaders clearly understand that and are strengthening talent across functions, are making investments and are willing to revisit thinking and to further refine our focus and strategies. * I love the speed of decision-making to execution, thanks to a lack of BS or politics. Even in cases when the answers aren't necessarily what I want to hear at a given time, I understand the logic. First-principles thinking FTW. * Every company says they have a good culture. At Jerry, it's actually true. Folks are highly collaborative and company-minded, not focused on only what's good for them or their teams. And when I've had constructive criticism or input, I've been heard out. We consistently have productive exchanges. And we don't need a crapload of needless meetings.

Cons

We’ve got a lot of work ahead to become world class.

We're thrilled you are happily surprised! You are having a true Jerry experience: focus, speed, lack of politics, first-principles thinking, and collaborative, no-ego colleagues. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and help us keep building a world-class company.
