Pros

The individual contributors at this company are the only reason it continues to be successful. There are very talented and passionate people who perform heroics to get stuff done for the company. It was a joy to work with so many good people all trying to overcome the obstacles of a disfunctional organization with inadequate leadership.

Cons

Leadership at this company was a joke. There were consequences for anyone who openly disagreed with leadership decisions and they made lots of bad decisions. There is very little understanding of how the business works and who the customers are. They allow senior leadership to retaliate against individual contributors and HR allows them to do it. There are no consequences for poor leadership decisions and dishonest behavior and the company is in an endless cycle of making the same bad decisions over and over again.

Pros

Individual Contributors work hard for the Co-Op

Cons

Sr Leadership are hoverers. They don't know/or want to know the details of why things are not working. Nothing ever changes.

Cons

Honestly, this is the worst job I’ve ever had. You are wildly under appreciated, overworked and underpaid. The manager would literally make fun of other employees and mock them. The team lead should have been reported for sexual harassment, and just down right harassment on multiple occasions. This was the most toxic and exhausting job I’ve ever had, which is extra disappointing coming from a company that preaches work life balance and being “woke”. Overall gross experience that left a bad taste in my mouth.
