Pros

CEO is extremely "down to earth" and likable. Friendly environment by the day to day team

Cons

Overworked - hard to manage 100+ clients/people when your head count is less than 3 and certain departments wont budge for even an intern. certain teams/departments are favored - Sales is a given that are favored heavily in any company, but the people that turn the wheels internally, that is a different story.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share feedback to help us improve. First of all, we appreciate the positives about the environment. More importantly, I'm grateful for the constructive input. It's obvious we weren't giving you the support you needed around internal processes. In our current fiscal year, internal processes are a huge focus area to help us scale. I will confess I think I underinvested in this area historically. I'm looking forward to changing that in the coming months. Wishing you the best and thanking you for being a Gainster!
