Pros

- Great culture in some departments - Excellent People/HR Department

Cons

Overall, this company has potential, but it’s severely handicapped by its leadership. The recruiting process was hands-down the best I’ve ever experienced—professional, efficient, and well-structured. The People Department is fantastic, and some departments have an amazing culture. However, the positives stop there. The CEO is the root of the company’s dysfunction. While he’s written a solid set of company values, he’s the first to ignore them. Employees are expected to take ownership, yet favoritism runs rampant. Some employees are allowed to show up drunk, come in whenever they feel like it, and face zero consequences. Meanwhile, talented employees are overlooked, undervalued, or outright fired—like the competent CMO who was replaced with an unprofessional and clueless Creative Director. This individual has no idea what they’re doing, and the only reason the website hasn’t imploded is sheer luck. The marketing department is a chaotic mess, and anyone considering a job there should think twice. There’s no room for growth, and the environment is politically charged with zero accountability. The CEO is a micromanager who seems completely disconnected from the values he preaches. It became clear within three weeks that this place is a “good old boys club,” focused more on internal politics than actual progress or performance. My advice? Avoid this company, especially any roles tied to the marketing department.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions, and we appreciate your honesty. While we strive to create a positive and thriving work environment, we acknowledge that we are not a perfect organization and will always have areas for improvement. Our values and purpose are lofty goals that we aspire to live out daily, but as humans, we inevitably fall short. Despite this, we are committed to continuous growth and improvement. You are correct in noting that I am not a perfect leader, and I do not claim to be. However, my goal remains to improve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Your feedback is taken seriously, and I thank you for pointing out where I may not have met your expectations as a leader. This reflection fuels my commitment to becoming better for the benefit of our team and the company as a whole. Regarding the concern about favoritism, I understand how it could be perceived that way. Loyalty to long-tenured employees who have faced challenges and contributed to our growth over time can sometimes appear as favoritism to newer employees. It’s not about treating individuals differently but about recognizing that trust is built over time. However, I will reflect on this feedback to ensure we continue fostering a fair environment for all team members. Concerning the matter of alcohol use in the workplace, this is against company policy, and I take these allegations seriously. This will be investigated thoroughly, and appropriate action will be taken to address the issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Regarding the replacement of our CMO, I’d like to clarify that there seems to be a misunderstanding. Our Creative Director has not taken on the role or duties of the CMO, and their responsibilities remain unchanged. While changes in leadership can be challenging, they are sometimes necessary to align with the company’s goals and direction. Lastly, I must address the sentiment expressed in wishing ill will toward myself and the company. While it is bold to make such a statement, I genuinely pray for peace and clarity for everyone involved. I also hope you find a situation that better aligns with your expectations and needs. Everyone deserves to work in an environment where they feel valued and supported. To conclude, we value feedback and use it as a tool to grow and improve. While we acknowledge our imperfections, our commitment to learning and striving for excellence remains steadfast. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and thank you again for sharing your perspective. Sincerely, Greg Workmon CEO, LoadUp

Pros

LoadUp is the place to work if you are looking for a friendly work environment that gets stuff done! LoadUp isn't just a place to work. It's a place to make long-lasting connections and work on truly interesting projects. The business is growing rapidly for a reason. It truly takes its core values seriously and ensures everyone feels welcome. It's such a pleasant and fun environment that it doesn't even feel like a job when I'm here! Positions are constantly open up and I get a sense that there is much room for advancement.

Cons

I cannot think of any!
