Growing Pains

Pros

- I really enjoyed the people I worked with. They tend to hire really great people. - I felt that my ideas were heard and acknowledged by my manager. - I was able to gain skills and expand my duties.

Cons

- I saw this business grow very rapidly in a very short period of time, and it suffers from those growing pains. - There was a very high turnover rate in the time I was there. If there was any contention between an employee and the CEO, they were gone the next day! - The culture of the organization is toxic and depressing. It really trickles down from the attitude of the CEO, who I found to be disrespectful, constantly anxious, and micromanaging. There is a lot of office drama and politics. - The goals of the company were so focused on growth that they didn't really care about things running smoothly on a day to day basis. We were asked to believe in a product that the founders obviously didn't care about and just want to sell as quickly as possible.

Pros

good benefits, some nice people

Cons

senior management had unreasonable expectations about work hours, all hands were scheduled at 7am to avoid "cutting into the workday", employees were discouraged from "distracting" each other with chat software, total lack of company culture

Majore culture + retention issues

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Generally a good crew of hard working people. - Good office location - Lunches a few times per week

Cons

- Toxic culture and drama: a lot of office drama, bad mouthing, etc. Doesn't seem like many people are happy at the company, which leads to high turnover. - Leadership/management issues: the CEO likes to micro-manage A LOT. - Little/no professional growth: did not feel like I was given the room to grow professionally and a number of coworkers felt the same way. - Turnover: A ton of turnover. This is combination of people quitting and getting fired. I've never seen such high turnover anywhere, across all roles in the company, from executives to drivers.
