      We were truly concerned to read this review! “Company Culture is Garbage” is a strong statement. We’ve brought it to the attention of our VP of Human Resources, and encourage you to reach out directly to discuss further, particularly if you feel you or others have been treated unfairly. Similarly, if you feel are being paid unfairly for the work that you do, we recommend a conversation with your manager to brainstorm how you can alleviate some of your workload. Please continue these conversations with Human Resources and your manager.

      Pros

      Most people work complete remote, which is great for when you want to scream in frustration or bang your head against the nearest wall without judgement.

      Cons

      - high turnover - frequent "restructuring" - C suite makes obscene $$$ while everyone else is paid the absolute lowest possible. - No raises. -no cost of living increases - company hasnt been profitable since covid

      Poor Compensation & Senior Leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits like: Unlimited PTO, sick leave, remote work, company-supplied laptop

      Cons

      Since our company was acquired by Emerald, I have seen my workload and responsibilities increase yet my compensation and title stay the same for two years. We have no had company-wide formal employee reviews since 2021. Below industry-standard employee compensation that does not include cost of living increases or standard review compensation increases. The compensation package shared with us at the time of acquisition promised a compensation increase each year + bonuses, but no reviews have occurred and bonuses are performance-based on the entire company's revenue goals, not per employee. Leadership is secretive and selective, firing and hiring at will with little to no communication with their teams, leading to a feeling of no job security or longevity. We were lied to consistently all year from leadership about when compensation reviews were happening. As a company that touts "employee first" policy, I see little respect for our team and no path for growth for my role here.
