Pros

There are none worth mentioning

Cons

They actually had the audacity to call the temp agency recruiter, and have her to ask me to take down the review. She stated she understood I needed closure but I clarified that I am fine with the decision the company made not to continue employing me but will NOT let the unprofessional behavior go unchecked. Period. The unscrupulous tactics are perpetual with this company and one person is the culprit. Asking me to delete my review further proves my point about their unethical behavior. First, I agreed to remove it and I took it down. However, everything that I am saying is true and I have solid proof of everything I claim. They had all the managers to throw up a bunch of reviews after I posted my initial review to try to discredit what I said. However, that doesn't negate the fact that your behavior is deplorable. The entire set up is unorganized. There is an unwillingness to help new employees and they give zero training but want you to "use your resources" to figure out how to go about your job. They do not want you to ask your coworkers any questions about what to do; yet they expect you to fumble your way through the day not knowing what to do. They expect you to be responsible for getting materials necessary for field techs to do work in your personal vehicle with no regard for mileage or gas reimbursement. Feedback is not provided even when asked SEVERAL times for it. They don't plan the installs with consideration to their employees taking a lunch but will say, "eating is important!" with a fake smile plastered on their faces. HOWEVER, they take lots of corporate lunches and don't even offer to get the employees stuck behind a drink of water!

I’m sorry your temporary work assignment was such a poor experience. We are building a new company and it’s growing very rapidly. You rightly point out that with that growth comes opportunities for us to make improvements when it comes to training, organization, and providing clearer feedback. We will work to do better here. Joining a young company like ours comes with perks like the latest computer hardware, unlimited snacks / beverages, and casual dress, but it also comes with the expectation that all employees, whether they are full time or temporary, use their resources to figure out how to do the job well. We cannot afford to sit back and wait. We need people to be proactive. Some people will thrive in that environment, but we know that is not going to be fit with everyone. We wish you luck in your next opportunity.

Pros

-Hands-on, bought in Executive Leadership. There are 2 Founders, including the CEO, still leading the company. C-suite is transparent, direct, responsive, empathetic and always willing to help. This goes for any employee that reaches out -Top Tier investors like a16z and Tiger Direct -Products make a tangible impact on society, improving the safety and security of the communities that Flock supports. There are countless stories per day involving preventing shootings, recovering stolen vehicles and missing children, returning the elderly to their families, apprehending criminals who started forest fires and more -Optimal hiring profile, focusing on kind, gritty individuals that do not let the definition of their roles get in the way of success, are highly responsive and just want to be successful. It is impressive that Flock has maintain this culture at scale -Career development is a focus area. Leaders ask their employees about their goals and present realistic career paths proactively, as does People Strategy

Cons

-Flock is fast paced and constantly changing. New products, new markets, etc. If you are not energized by running towards a challenge in an environment focused on building, not maintaining, this may not be the right culture for you

Pros

Steady hours and solid experience building out regional tracking networks. You get to work independently on the ground most of the time.

Cons

Massive scope creep with zero additional compensation. They increased the physical labor requirements significantly—shifting from digging standard 30-inch holes to digging 42-48 inch deep holes reinforced with rebar and four bags of concrete—while keeping the pay exactly the same.On top of that, logistics are awful. They closed down local supply hubs, forcing massive weekly driving distances just to fetch basic equipment, yet scheduling was so uncoordinated it took them weeks to stop assigning full workloads on supply-run days.Supervisors act like mindless "company men." I was left on read while experiencing severe heat exhaustion symptoms in 100+ degree heat just so a supervisor could check daily production metrics. They treat field techs like disposable machinery, expect brutal days with hours of exhausting driving through remote territories, and offer zero operational support. Even after you leave, offboarding is broken; internal IT support analysts ignore their own logistics vendors, leaving automated systems to spam former employees for weeks about equipment they don't have.
