Pros

Some great people, good compensation and benefits

Cons

Poor decision making from the top down and protective, defensive culture. Leadership hires were made outside of recommendations based on interview processes, unfair hiring practices in general.

Pros

*Unlimited PTO *Biweekly pay even for salaried folks

Cons

*Leadership is out of their depth and only wants yes men. *Bonuses and compensation are arbitrary -based on either how much someone likes you and not actual metrics. *Toxic work environment that feels very Mean Girls *If you know a leader then you can get a job you are very under or not qualified for. *Benefits are fairly terrible and have only gotten worse. *HR is a complete joke and those left barely know how to do their jobs.

In my opinion— Root is not it.

Pros

It's difficult to identify any significant pros about working at Root Inc.

Cons

Root Inc has a work culture that can be unbearable for employees. The culture is a blame-game, leading to an unhealthy and unsupportive work environment. The management team at Root Inc lacks the necessary skills to lead and support their team effectively. Their decisions often negatively impact employees and the company as a whole. Root Inc expects employees to work long hours without appropriate compensation for overtime. This leads to poor work-life balance and high levels of burnout among employees. Root Inc offers compensation below industry standards, which is not commensurate with the workload and expectations of employees. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency around bonuses and salaries, which creates a sense of mistrust. Root Inc does not provide employees with opportunities for professional development or career advancement. This leaves employees feeling stuck in their roles and unfulfilled in their careers. Overall, Root Inc is a highly unsatisfactory place to work. The toxic work culture, ineffective management, and inadequate compensation and growth opportunities make it an unappealing workplace.
