Pros

There are opportunities to learn and grow professionally if you take the time and make the effort to do so. Job comes with some nice perks and atmosphere is nice. I have some great co-workers.

Cons

promotional opportunities are few and far between if you want to move up and usually there is already someone in mind for positions you may be interested in. Raises are meager even though company was doing very well, and will probably be worse now. People leave and come back A LOT. I think this may be partially becuase it's the only way you can really get decent 'raise'. Lash is very 'touchy-feely'. You always have to worry about someone's feelings, it's difficult to simply state a fact because the culture is to appear happy and bubbly always... simple facts can quickly be misinterpreted as negativity. Non-management employees often feel they cannot speak up which is disadvantages to senior leaders who have no idea why morale is so low. The company has grown quickly but tries to keep that 'small business feel' (not a good thing to me) and those who have been around since early on feel entitled. As a new employee you may feel disconnected if you are not in the clique. Introverts may find the general environment off-putting at times.

Pros

Some remote opportunities, medical benefits used to be good

Cons

This company has made it clear that its employees are not a priority. Over the past several years, there have been repeated layoffs, hiring freezes, and constant cost-cutting, with little regard for the employees left behind or how the remaining work will realistically get done. Many of the decisions don’t make sense. Critical, high-performing employees and essential roles have been eliminated while other positions remain. At the same time, new processes and layers of bureaucracy have been introduced that make even simple tasks take much longer, leaving employees with less time to focus on the work that actually serves clients. I genuinely feel for both the employees who remain and the clients, who ultimately bear the consequences of these decisions. The workload continues to increase while staffing decreases, creating an unsustainable environment. If you’re considering applying here, I’d think carefully. The company has laid off dozens of long-tenured employees—many with decades of service—without hesitation. That sends a clear message about how employee loyalty is valued. What has been especially disappointing is the lack of interest in employee feedback. In all my years here, I was never asked for ideas on how my department or the company could operate more effectively, despite those doing the work often having the best insight into what needs improvement. To make matters worse, 50-hour workweeks have become the expectation rather than the exception. It’s difficult to see continued cuts to the workforce while executive compensation remains high.
