Pros

Are you kidding me? Not a single one.

Cons

From the outside, this place looks polished—great culture, clear values, strong leadership. But once you're in, it’s all misdirection. Vague emails and buzzwords pass for “transparency,” and decisions are made in a vacuum, then dumped on employees like an afterthought. The culture is completely performative. Real problems are ignored, workloads keep piling up, and any feedback that isn’t glowing gets you labeled “difficult.” Promotions go to favorites, not performers. Raises are minimal, bonuses have been cut, and any recognition feels like a box to check, not something earned. Ops managers brush off valid concerns as “negativity” rather than take responsibility for the dysfunction they help create. Leadership cares more about their image than the people keeping things running. Restructuring happens constantly, but nothing actually improves—just more chaos and fewer answers. Unless you're desperate, keep looking. This place will drain you, devalue you, and then pretend it's your fault.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how difficult and disheartening your time here felt. That’s not the kind of environment we aim to build. Over the past year, the company has gone through significant change—structurally, operationally, and culturally. While much of that was intended to set us up for long-term growth and clarity, we know the pace and volume of change has caused disruption, fatigue, and frustration for some teams. However, feedback is being collected and acted on, even if not always publicly. Restructuring has caused disruption, yes—but also progress in areas that needed it. We take feedback seriously, including when it’s hard to hear. We’re actively working to improve how we make decisions, how we communicate them, and how we support people through times of transition. Thank you again for your feedback and contributions.

Pros

Working from home, PTO, Insurance

Cons

I had such high hopes for this position and almost always met or exceeded my expectations but no matter what you do at this company it is never enough for them and it seems the better you do the more you are micromanaged and watched like a hawk. I have never done so well in a position but be made to feel so ignorant and like a failure as I have here. There is no praise for a job well done it is always what you need to do better. I have never in any job I have had in 25 years experienced the level of micromanagement as I have here it feels more like harassment than anything. The pay cannot ever be worth the stress and blow to your confidence this job provides. Want to cry at work, feel like an idiot constantly, have high blood pressure and worry about your physical and mental health constantly due to the stress? Fill out an application. I chose myself instead and hopefully you will too.
