Pros

The office location is nice, even with the parking problem. The paid-for insurance is great for single and/or young people. Sometimes there is free cereal and/or animal crackers. Some floors have working HVAC systems that don't leak. The building rarely loses water, so toilets usually work.

Cons

Many of the touted perks (PTO, 1 WFH day, etc) are nice, but well below the industry standard in the area. When taken into account things like no 401k match or no parking bonus (things many similar and smaller companies in Cleveland offer) the other stuff isn't so great. While you can theoretically talk to upper management, good luck getting them to make time for you to do so. The layoff was awful, but since then the existing staff has been leaving in droves (only about 1/3 of the remaining 1/2 remain), which no one comments on. Moving tech stacks is hard, but it's being done by a contracting firm so existing employees don't get to learn anything new, and no one who actually knows how and why the system works has any part of it. Management clearly plays favorites to employees hired since the layoff which creates lots of friction. Everyone in every department, is now on pins and needles since they feel that saying the wrong thing, or asking for a day off, could be a reason to be let go, or made so uncomfortable that they have to quit.

Pros

Base pay and benefits are good. Downtown location is fun, and there are plenty of close places to eat. Coworkers are great. Working at a company this size teaches you a lot about other departments. PTO policy is generous, and one work from home day per week is nice.

Cons

Overall, OnShift lacks long-term vision/direction. It seems like every few months priorities change. There is also a major lack of accountability in nearly every department. Sales leadership is the worst I've ever seen. They have little skill or desire to coach people, and spend the majority of their time in meetings. They are obsessed with the perception that they are busy and therefore "working." I'm not sure what goes on in these meetings, but there is rarely any sort of improvement. I have personally experienced many meetings where absolutely nothing was accomplished, and there were several times certain people simply ignored their action items. As a leader at a company the size of OnShift, you shouldn't be able to "hide," but it's astounding how many do and how little work gets done. Some members of sales leadership are also just plain disrespectful toward other people in the organization, which is unacceptable. The product is good for the most part, but innovation has stalled majorly. It seems like the dev team is working mostly on performance issues instead of new features. Features are getting pushed back months or quarters, and no one is held accountable for missed deadlines. There is also a huge backlog of implementations for new customers or add-ons, which affects the CS team as well as the actual revenue coming in. It's difficult to grow sales at the rate OnShift wants to with a lack of new markets to sell to and products to sell. Leadership doesn’t actually care about employee retention, no matter how much they say they do.

Pros

Work from home once a week. 20 PTO days starting off. The environment is relaxed with casual dress. Coworkers are friendly and happy to help.

Cons

Promotions are slim. Raises are slim. Bosses are not equipped for their position. Parking is very expensive on a day-to-day basis but add in game days or big concerts and you're looking at $20 parking.
