Pros

There are none. I would include them to be fair if I could think of one.

Cons

I don’t even know where to start with this company, and I don’t think words in a Glassdoor review can truly even fully expose the toxicity alone. I can assure you, I am not a disgruntled employee who was fired writing this. I was an extremely unhappy employee who voluntarily left due to mistreatment, virulent individuals in leadership positions, and the ways that it was affecting my health and family through my employment at this company. Tend is great at marketing themselves as an innovative, modern company. What is not seen from the outside is all of the ways that leadership could care less about the human beings that work for them. This was exhibited through the ways employees are spoken to and unrealistic expectations to sacrifice our personal lives for a job. A job. I was cursed at in meetings, constantly put down either directly or passive aggressively and made to feel that I was inferior to other individuals of a higher “title” than myself. I know many other people who have left this place either by their own choice or through an abrupt layoff. Do not leave a good job and come to Tend. Do not look for a fresh start and come to Tend. The leadership here is delusional in thinking this place can be a success in the way that they do business and treat the people that work so hard for them.
