Business Outlook

Pros

* Teams are extremely collaborative across sales, engineering, support, product * Ability to think outside of the box to solve challenging problems * Welcome and Intelligent group of colleagues * Decent Health Care Benefits

Cons

* Management has been made up of strong individual contributors who are not great people managers * No clear promotion process or even performance reviews (you can go years without getting one) * Management can get way to in the weeds on projects and work rather than letting the competent team execute * Way Way too many processes - project updates are done in multiple massive meetings, tools, spreadsheets and emails weekly * Low pay and not even inflation increases yearly (Management once seemingly bragged about how they low ball applicants) * There are women on the tech teams, but management is 100% male

Toxic company, everybody is unhappy

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits: Unlimited PTO and catered lunch

Cons

Overworked, toxic environment, leaders are dishonest and couldn't care less about their employees. I witnessed people from multiple departments yelling at each other, and several people crying. Leadership is young, arrogant, and inexperienced. If you want to progress in your career and work hard to get there, don't work at KeepTruckin, they will use you and they will find ways to not pay your bonuses and other promised pay.

That is never what we want for any of our employees past or present. Our employee health and happiness is very important to us and we take any suggestion of an unhealthy work environment very seriously. If you’d be open to sharing further details so we can make this right, please email opendoor@keeptruckin.com - Ron Storn, Chief People Officer

Pros

I had some really awesome coworkers.

Cons

Leadership has no clue what they’re doing. Toxic culture, values are just posters on the walls. Management does not care about their employees.
