Pros

Profit sharing is nice, occasionally it is quite large.

Cons

Too much religion, too many entrenched managers, too much non-value-added activity. Its a technical type business run by accountants.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. POET is a private company with strong beliefs in holistic wellness which does include spiritual and emotional health. Team members are invited, but never required, to participate in any of the voluntary religious/spiritual programs offered. As POET continues to grow, we strive to stay focused on innovative and value-added activities that contribute to the ongoing success of our mission. As you mentioned, that does translate to quarterly profit-sharing which is a benefit we consistently receive good feedback about! We also encourage team members to have open lines of communication with their leader, or alternatively their People & Culture Partner (HR) to discuss any concerns they are experiencing.

Best environment I have ever worked in, you can tell that Poet cares about its employees, I enjoyed going to work.

Cons

You need to be able to pick up on things quickly, the job involves a lot of going with the flow and figuring things out.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. At POET, we are committed to maintaining a professional workplace where team members are treated with respect and where clear expectations, accountability, and confidentiality are core standards across our operations. We also want to clarify that team member compensation and personnel records are maintained within secure electronic HR systems rather than physical documents, and access to that information is strictly restricted in accordance with company policy. The situation described does not align with the processes we have in place to protect confidential information. Individual experiences can vary, and we encourage team members to raise questions or concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed in a timely and constructive way. Our focus remains on supporting a collaborative, purpose-driven environment where team members can contribute, grow, and succeed. — POET
