Pros

"Trauma bonding" with other coworkers over how insane this place is.

Cons

The Glassdoor reviews are accurate. In a nutshell, the CEO is absolutely insane (and instead of trying to fix the company, he's wasting internal resources to try and "fix Glassdoor"). The only folks left on the C-Suite are brown nosers who are not qualified for their roles and are going to profit off of all the abuse and toxicity they've put onto their employees. People get hired because they're friends with leaders, not because they deserve it. On top of that, this place is comically misogynistic. It's 2023 and still pretty much everyone in a leadership role is a white male, they fired/laid off a lot of POC on their HR team, and continue to promote men and white people. This place used to be FUN and exciting to work at....now when I see people join, I question their sanity given these Glassdoor reviews. They aren't doing formal layoffs but instead randomly let go of people here and there. One colleague got two weeks severance which is inhumane...but to be honest I'd rather be let go then work here another minute.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
