I got let go and it is the best thing that ever happened to me. there are so many companies that do the same thing now and do it better, and treat their employees better. Podium used to be a great place to work, but something changed and the past few years have been a gradual decline with 2023 being rock bottom. It’s obvious to everybody that the company is not doing well, but that will NEVER be addressed. They got rid of literally all benefits and incentives (unlimited pto isn’t a benefit when you don’t get any quota relief and have to work extra to make up for missed days). Management is the worst i’ve seen it. the ceo only wants managers that will kiss butt and agree with everything he says, and any sort of disagreement will end in your job being threatened. Asking for help is pointless, and will just draw negative attention to you that you are behind. the most help i’ve gotten here is from coworkers who ar also drowning and getting zero support. we are overworked and underpaid and micromanaged daily and nobody seems to care. you can’t even trust the positive reviews you see because kiss butt employees are being asked directly to leave a good review by the executive team because the know how bad it is. get on blind and read what employees actually think about podium cuz it is a joke and sinking quick. town halls are always falsely positive and uplifting but they aren’t fooling any of us. morale is down and everybody is miserable and looking for new jobs but the ceo will get on stage and talk about his private jet and wife buying designer bags. he is out of touch. everybody I know that left is in a better place mentally and financially
