      Dissatisfied

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Entrepreneurial work environment. Most managers macro-manage and reply on their employees. Business casual. Lax hours- most people arrive late and run out of the door at 5p.

      Cons

      The company is named after a color. High employee churn. Weak leadership. Lack of infrastructure for innovation. No career pathing or long-term career opportunities. Poor training and onboarding. Below industry compensation with meager annual increases. Most people do not get their comp plans or goals until halfway through the year.

      Senior customer service associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compulsory corporate retreats. Strong corporate hierarchy. Peons know their place.

      Cons

      No communicated vision/philosophy outside of 'growth'. Leadership believes culture can be created in a board room. EBITDA > people

      Thank you for your review. It's always helpful for us to understand the experiences that our people are having across our business. You may know that our CEO, Hervé Sedky, and his leadership team have started to build a strategy that's fully aligned with our values. As this is rolled out our people will start to see a clear picture of the long term vision and how their work contributes to it and to our culture which you rightly state is the responsibility of all our people to build.
