Great People and Opportunities

Anonymous employee

Pros

Modern work environment. Business growth and forward movement. Great coworkers. Great collaboration amongst coworkers and teams. Ownership and COO care about the employees, and it is proven by their actions. Company and departmental goals are clear. Accountability. Opportunity for personal and professional growth. Employees can voice their opinion and be heard. Company is in the midst of positive change and growth.

Cons

Often high pressure to meet deadlines. Long work hours. Unrealistic expectations set by managers that do not understand the full scope and/or impact of request (– but when reasonable and realistic, you can offer your perspective which may alter the expectation). Not enough cross training of team members. If someone is OOO there may be an interruption of critical functions negatively impacting that and other departments.

Thank you so much for the review. I am so happy to hear you see the opportunities, growth, as well as the accountability mixed with the care. There are times we need to adjust expectations, and I am also happy to hear that you feel this can be adjusted once perspectives and realities are explained. We definitely have a work hard, play hard culture. The cross training of team members is a good call out, and something we have started working on, but I do agree this is a work in progress we need to continue. mikey

Pros

Open work environment, allows autonomy

Cons

You always have to defend yourself, work product if there is a mistake. There’s a lot of looking at “who to blame” when things go wrong.

Thank you so much for the review. I am happy to hear we allow autonomy. Our goal is to allow more and more. In terms of the "who to blame", we have been hugely focused on that and creating an atmosphere that is really only about the solution, and the go forward. We have felt major forward motion in regards to this, and need to maintain this focus for sure on being only solutions based. Mikey

You will feel like a hamster

Pros

I cannot stress enough how terrible was the work experience there, however all experiences are learning experience and can still yield positive outcomes and help you grow.

Cons

Poor training, lack of trust and care for employees, undefined performance expectations, your every move will be tracked, even outside the office. There's no room for advancement, you are just made to feel like a hamster running on a wheel. It's like running towards the finish line you will never get to until you drop dead of complete exhaustion.

I am sorry to read your review, and can definitely understand that the point of view for many members of our team definitely vary greatly (just looking at the past 8 days of reviews). We have had several promotions in the past year for members of the team, and in the past 90 days, the organization has begun to normalize from what was a very unique 15 months. I am sorry this was not the best fit for you or us, but we do wish you the best going forward. mikey
