Pros

The only pro to working here is working with the good people who haven't left yet.

Cons

If you watched the movie 9 to 5 and thought the CEO was the real victim, this is the place for you. The head at Community Brands is surrounded by people who consider modernity at odds with their current agenda for employee satisfaction and quality product to send out to customers. What they call a “benefits package” is the bare minimum for any industry and much of this is due to HR helping out old friends in the Insurance and Retirement business who should have retired in 1989. As far as the packages sent out to customers, the general thought process is that releasing bug riddled product is fine because Support, which is woefully understaffed, will be able to successfully navigate amidst unhappy customers and a management team that will throw each support person under the bus at the first whiff of blowback. The Support Management Team method of management is either micromanaging, or holing up in conference rooms or meetings to avoid providing support to their team. This team doesn't show respect for their people but prefer to pigeon hole all employees using a very complex algorithm that calculates who is ready to leave if they don't receive a promotion and who is management's favorite. Do not be fooled. You are only a number. On the bright side, if you think that doing a good job means meeting the minimum basic requirements, you’ll be able to “work” here until you get tired of having benefits chipped away to non-existence. The only people that deal with any consequences in this department are those who say aloud that the company is getting worse rather than better.

Pros

Full time remote, other than that very few positives to speak of

Cons

Are you looking for a career with attainable goals? Easily accessible information? Positive morale? A good product? Room for growth and advancement? Well here at Community Brands, we've made sure you'll find absolutely NONE of that! Get ready and strap yourself in for a hectic start-up lifestyle flavor for a creaky established company that is already decades behind the times. Basic necessities like Salesloft? Just got those a year ago. Salesforce? Some teams only just got on that this year! Don't worry though, every team is so siloed from the next that you (hopefully) won't notice how shaky the foundation to the entire company is. And expectations? Well those will change wildly from week to week as leaders come in and out of this organization like a revolving door. For you sales folks out there, quotas can double from year to year. Sure that number seems like it was pulled out of a hat made of greed and not obtainable - but that's only because leadership believes in you so much! Don't worry though, once this task proves impossible because nothing changed between years to make attainment possible, management will change their personal quotas to get paid out but they'll make sure any sales person who falling behind, is in need of guidance, or asking for help is PIPed out of existence. Project managers - remember that start-up lifestyle mentioned earlier? Well put your game-face on and be ready to work all hours of the day (and night) on an understaffed team that only falls further and further behind as hiring is frozen in a leadership approved Ice Age. Hopefully you're ready for fun conversations with angry customers who are confused why their product isn't doing half the things the rest of the competition out there has been able to do for years! And sure, some of this could be put back on the sales people and account managers who sold the product - but with the layoffs stacked on layoffs this company has undergone over 2 years there's a good chance those folks are long gone and you'll be left holding the bag. Lets us turn from the apocalypse of Community Brands as it currently is and look ahead to Community Brands of the future - and wowee, it is something to be written of in the stars. Fun fact, much of the space where the stars reside is an empty, blank void....much like Community Brands itself! Because at Community Brands, there is no future to speak of. Sure it acquires new solutions every few months because the Dev team can't build anything itself - but unlike other companies which can tie solutions together and make a formidable product, here at Community Brands those new solutions find their true purpose....drifting listlessly in the ether, their roadmap and momentum halted by a pit of molasses masquerading as a SaaS company. (On a personal note, all the years I worked at CB for the life of me I cannot recall a single feature of note they successfully produced, only the companies they acquired and then let down.) So are you feeling jazzed and ready to apply? We hope so, because morale is currently somewhere south of the Marinara Trench and we could use a transfusion! Give us a ring, you certainly will regret it.

Fires without notice. Do not trust.

Pros

You get to meet a lot of different people at the executive level, since they don't keep anyone in a leadership position for more than 6 months.

Cons

I have worked for Community Brands for more than a year now, and in that time there have been 3 major purges of the workforce, with nearly entire departments being fired without notice and without cause upon coming into work in the morning. In all company meetings senior leadership talks about how well the company is doing, then cuts staff by 75% without notice. Leadership is not transparent. Staff are not fairly compensated for their work, and when major firings happen are forced to take on more than their fair share of work. All employee activity is monitored, including click tracking and file reading programs. Major groups of employees are fired/positions are eliminated without cause.
