Pros

Pay is decent, have an autonomous, flexible schedule

Cons

Management sucks- at ALL levels. At Executive level they have the same old rehashed people who were promoted once their toxic leader retired- carrying the toxic baton to the C suite yet again to keep the poor leadership flame burning. They talk about people being important- Very little signs of that. What’s important is getting to that billion dollar brand status- At any and all costs. They promote those who think like them- no diversity in thought OR management style.

Pros

I can't say, they will see and try to take that away too.

Cons

I am fairly certain that leadership has been reading these reviews and instead of resolving problems decided to take away the good things too. The end goal must be to make this place as miserable as possible for employees in the hopes of keeping stakeholders happy. Vacation was decreased starting in 2026 (with no carry-over). People continue to disappear month after month since the second half of 2024. Still no planning for work coverage. Employee Resource Groups are being halted at least temporarily. People commented that the pay is good. Well that's being cut and if you are on the upper end of your range, no annual increases for you no matter how well you perform. Other things to look forward to for 2027- 401k contribution decreases Annual bonus decreases After all that, what's left?
