Pros

Earn a great 6 digit salary, and help other people develop their talents. Gain skills that can be useful at other companies.

Cons

Upper management are some egotistical jerks who view everyone below them as a number and will do everything they can, legally or not, to get you out of there when they are done with you.

Pros

Ok pay and it's cool that you make your own decisions.

Cons

Management sucks they don't care about you. Management has there favorites while the rest are looked down upon. Managers are not organized. Also the employees that turn into management are only promoted because they performed really good based on there number quota. Stop promoting people who do good number wise promote people who are mature and that are ready to lead a team of 17 or more. This company burns so much money explains why they could never make profit.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. It’s great to hear you feel positively about the pay structure as well as the ability to make your own decisions and work independently. It’s unfortunate that you don’t feel positively about the leadership you’ve received. We are a fast-moving and fast-growing company, and our goal is to create an environment where all of our teammates can continually learn, and grow their careers along with us. We’d encourage you to reach out to your local People Empowerment representative with any specific concerns you may have. Thanks again for the feedback!
