5 day mandatory RTO

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be remote company. Maybe a good first job to get your foot in door to corporate

Cons

Mandatory 5 day RTO within 50 miles implemented when company was remote pre- covid. Poorly communicated the need for change, did not offer flexibility when several employees were hired remote to begin with. Has a product called "employee voice" but did not take into consideration their employees voice when making sweeping changes to company culture, schedule, etc. Pay is minimal in operations. Have seen many other companies pay better for same job. Company felt ahead of its time, progressive and interesting. Now it appears to be pivoting back in time to old school controlling corporate culture.
