Pros

Great work-life balance, awesome company perks, passionate coworkers. Not necessarily a pro nor a con, but the CEO is completely removed from the day-to-day. The COO runs the show, so that tells you the state of the company (not in much of a growth stage, more of a maintenance stage).

Cons

* The product is in DIRE need of a total refresh. It was build in the aughts and it feels that way. Leadership has shown no signs of modernizing its look and feel, instead opting for small, incremental updates that take forever to roll out and don't get to the root of what customers need to fully adopt the product. * The company uses EOS, an extremely dated management system that has rigid boundaries. It's nice that meetings are generally held to the time that has been dedicated to them, but I don't like rigid processes like this. * Good luck being successful if you didn't already use the software before joining or didn't know someone to get you in the door. The learning curve is extremely steep. * Jackrabbit operates as if titles don't matter outside of the company, and as such, your salary won't reflect your true worth. You also can't have a 'manager' in your title if you don't manage people (eg., Product Manager, Client Success Manager, Marketing Manager) are titles reserved only for someone who manages a team. * Almost everyone is white with a very limited number of exceptions.

The great thing about Jackrabbit is that we encourage open dialogue and all viewpoints are welcome! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and advice with us. We do appreciate you mentioning that we offer a great work life balance, awesome company perks and passionate coworkers! However, the biggest concern we have is that we apparently did not have the opportunity to clarify with you a few items that you raised. Yes, it is true that I am not involved with most of the day-to-day, but this is intentional and allows Jackrabbit to grow even faster. When I was acting as both CEO and COO, I was bottlenecking the growth of our company and doing a terrible job at visionary tasks. With 30% growth last year and a new product in the works for the childcare market, I don’t think anyone believes we are in maintenance mode. All successful products eventually become dated and need a UI refresh, and that's where we are! We have invested significantly into UX resources and our UI refresh effort is well underway. Jackrabbit's products are very broad and very deep, so yes, there is a learning curve for both employees and clients. That is why we provide comprehensive onboarding programs for both internal and external Jackrabbit users, and why we continue to be recognized for the best product support in the industry. EOS is one of the more recent leadership frameworks to develop "traction" (pun intended) in business--EOS implementations are occurring all over the world right now. And, we have worked extremely hard to ensure that we align jobs to market and pay market salaries to everyone on the Jackrabbit team. One item that we recently clarified across Jackrabbit's leadership team is that an employee can in fact have a "manager" title without direct reports when that is a common practice for the position. Last but not least, we remain very focused on improving the diversity of our workforce and are relieved to see increasing diversity across applicants for recent job openings. Thanks again for your feedback and we wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Pros

2025 brought lots of change, but the company learned a lot, and I believe is on the verge of some accelerated growth with the onset of some great new features in the product. The teams here are energized and ready for it, and despite some rough seas last year, remain supportive of one another and genuinely care about the clients and their success. Last year ended up removing a lot of artificial guardrails, and has empowered the product team to initiate and execute things without getting bogged down in any decision-making paralysis. We know what customers need, now let's give it to them. I have always said this was the best job I'd ever had and I continue to say it. If you genuinely care about your craft, and care about the end user and their success, you will love it here because you get to see it happen up close. - 2026 Bonus plan for reaching company goals - 401k 100% match up to 6% - Competitive salary

Cons

- PTO is less than some other firms of similar size. - Leadership has been hollowed out a bit with some departures and folks retiring, but hiring is in full effect

Pros

At the heart of Jackrabbit Technologies is a mission that drives everything we do: supporting an incredible client base. From dance instructors inspiring personal growth, to swim teachers imparting life-saving skills, and business owners dedicating their energy to such vital industries. This is why we show up every day—because we’re here to make a real difference. On the people side, I’m lucky to work with an amazing team of individuals who are always focused on delivering value to our clients. In a high-paced, high-accountability environment, we consistently collaborate to find the best ways to support the industry we serve. Accountability and collaboration are at the core of our culture, so be prepared to bring your ideas to the table, engage in candid conversations, and be challenged by leadership to push yourself every day. While the company is undergoing significant changes, I view this as a sign of progress. It can be a bit jarring at times, but I truly believe that we’re evolving to be an even more impactful player in the SaaS and youth activity center space. If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to make a difference, this is the place for you.

Cons

Like any company in a state of growth, there are definitely challenges. The pace can be intense, and while we're constantly striving to improve, it’s not always easy to keep up with the rapid changes. The high accountability culture means there's a lot of pressure to deliver, and it can sometimes feel like you're juggling a lot at once. But if you're someone who thrives on solving complex problems and finding new ways to evolve, you’ll be right at home.
