      Terrible

      Lead sales operations consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are options for remote work.

      Cons

      Absolutely terrible employee atmosphere with very long hours and management who don't understand the meaning of leadership. Trapped atmosphere with micro-management style and underpaid. Look elsewhere if you care about your sanity at work.

      Zero Leadership, Unnecessary Firedrills, Chaos, No Work/Life Balance

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The few Managers that care about their employees

      Cons

      Morale at all time low, along with a very anxious culture. "Leadership" with no leadership skills, no processes in place, firedrills. Lack of listening to employees that have ways to win. Too many 'yes' folks and not enough, 'is this right for employees and the business' folks. People in higher up positions that shouldn't be. Complete and total lack of accountability on upper managements part. Everything is shoveled down to others with demands to work weekends and be on call 24/7/365. Unrealistic goals constantly set that make no logical sense - the data even shows this. No raises, no bonuses (except for management, maybe) due to poor 'leadership' over past years. New 'leadership' is operation based, so anyone doing any actual work is now drowning in reports that get looked at once then they change their mind about what they want. Utterly ridiculous and shameful.

      Not a good place to work

      Software architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is fair. Company has good opportunities long term.

      Cons

      Dishonesty, backstabbing, and working politically are highly valued. Doing honest work with integrity is not valued.
