Pros

The people are the very best

Cons

Run, run, RUN. Don’t let the five star reviews from 2020 deceive you. This is the most toxic work environment I have ever been apart of as a working professional. Since Jennifer K left, HR (for an HRIS software, mind you) is non-existent. For any advice or guidance, they encourage you to submit an Ask Here just for the response from “HR” to tell you to ask your first level leader- helpful; who do they think asked us to submit the inquiry to begin with?! The decision making from upper management is abysmal; new half baked initiatives weekly, the elimination of Sales Regionals to have 30 Sales Managers report to a VP of Sales? Make it make sense. The “layoffs” to save a struggling stock conveniently falling right before bonus payouts and eliminating leaders and individual contributors only to repost the role 10 minutes later….. a company focused only on their bottom line. And AI? They talk about it but is it in the room with us? Unanswered inboxes, broken processes, teams eliminated with no one filling the gaps. And big green loyalty? Think 8 years matters? 10? They’ll send your anniversary flowers but years of service means nothing to upper management and Chad and there’s no dollar amount in the world that can ever make this opportunity worth it for you. So run. Run as fast as you can to find a company whose morals and actions align.
