Pros

opportunity to work with fortune 500 companies, people and co-workers (not Leo) were second to none

Cons

Leo Russell promised a $5000 referral bonus then didn't pay it out, Leo also has a $1000 rule where any issue that will cause the business a loss of $1000 or more he needs to hear about it yet when he stole $5000 from me and he didn't make a peep, glad he was able to afford a new boat though...,Commission/bonus structure was just a made up number depending on how the company did as a whole, X & Y axis growth opportunities made sense in theory but there was no clear cut way to get promoted, company was full of ideas/changes that would take place and then be slipped out from under our feet, "play nice in the sandbox" mentality that slowed down processes and impacted the candidate experience.

If you can stomach the CEO, it's a great place to work.

Pros

There is no ceiling to hit which is great if you are trying to climb the ladder. Promotions take place quarterly - so if you are crushing it and bringing in tons of revenue, you will continue to receive title changes. This is a great place to get your career started. You will gain tons of experience and skills and met some fabulous people and friends along the way.

Cons

The CEO is one of the most greedy, sadistic people I've ever encountered. The lack of self-awareness is honestly disturbing. Unfortunately he's also surrounded by "yes" men and women. Not a single person challenges him or sticks up to him and his decision-making. This is unfortunate because people at the top like Tim Tobin, John Woronowich, and Jenny Davis are actually brilliant and kind leaders. The CEO is also temperamental. One day he is a champion for underrepresented communities and the next he isn't. The whole business operates on whether or not he woke up on the right side of the bed that day.

Worst Company Culture because of Leo Russell and Tim Tobin

General

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

No one tracks PTO and the office is nice

Cons

The owner has no authority and will do nothing when his employees are verbally mistreated and/or treated sub-human by the CEO. The co-owner pretends to deeply care for people (will cry during meetings) but is using his disingenuous empathy as a tool. The CEO treats people of minority groups with little respect and can even be open about it. The CEO has said "I do not care who you live with at home, you have to be in the office or find a new job" during the COVID pandemic. The CEO does not care for the health of his employees, not even his leadership (Purple Belts).
