Pros

They used to have remote work.

Cons

They changed to hybrid instead of remote. They give unrealistic work expectations that they cannot achieve. They are unethical to vendors and customer service staff.

Pros

The pay is good, you also get an iPad, and a touch screen flip over laptop … two operating systems that don’t work well with each other. They give you a truck with gas card…. You also get an allowance to buy swag so you have lessen labeled clothes…. But … all sounds great until you realize they actually can’t afford to continue offering all these goodies. They spend money like they have it only to lay off people to make up what “economic hardship “ comes their way .

Cons

Continue to call themselves a startup after almost 3 years. They still have no idea what services they want to offer . They expect you to know automatically how to navigate random apps and software that clients tell us to use right off the bat. No training is involved , and you are penalized if you do it incorrectly. In terms of communication, We were told to enter the same info for project updates into 3 or 4 different platforms , although Lessen had their own but has since laid off all previous IT and abandoned it . They are too afraid to stand up and tell clients - this is what we offer, here are our services, these are our best practices, etc. all focus has been merging with SMS which I believe is now taking over and lessen name will be no more. I’m predicting in a year or less, Lessen will be sold off and Jay will be off on another adventure.
