Pros

Wurk is honestly one of the best companies that I've worked for, but I know that it hasn't always been that way. You can tell from the reviews, but the people who started with Wurk several years ago have a completely different perspective than the people who started in 2021. The company has an almost entirely new leadership team and they are ALL doing a fantastic job at changing the culture of the company and removing the lingering toxicity. Everyone at the company truly cares about our clients and is always trying to improve to help better serve them. They are the only company I've worked for that is actively trying to give their employees a better work-life balance. Our CEO, Scott, has said many times to use your PTO, and not bother people while they are on PTO - what a refreshing change from some of my previous companies that required you to check in daily while on PTO. Some other pros: - Unlimited PTO (that we are encouraged to use!) - Company bonuses and stock options - Free health, dental, and vision insurance plans for employees - Remote work culture - more than half the company is fully remote - Internet/fitness/professional development reimbursements - Paid parental leave

Cons

With new leadership comes growing pains, and some changes are not happening fast enough for some people. No 401k match. Everyone in the company is stretched pretty thin and they need more headcount.

Pros

There has been a lot of turnover in leadership which has moved the company in a more promising direction. Our new CEO and CFO (new as of mid-2021) have really done a great job changing the culture within our organization and I really feel supported from the top down. Focus has been turned on retaining talent, rewarding hard work, and encouraging internal growth and development. While hard work is encouraged it is never mandated. I have worked for several managers during my time at Wurk and never once have I felt pressure to work unrealistic hours. My managers have done a great job supporting me and helping me to find a good work-life balance to make sure I am not taking on more than work than I should be and to help prevent me from burn-out. Our new CFO, Navin, has done an incredible job building rapport with employees, he listens to the needs and concerns of employees, and he provides his genuine support to his team. He has truly been a saving grace within the organization. Finally, the organization has really done a great job supporting its employees. Through improved company benefits, changing bonus structure, providing unlimited PTO, offering generous parental leave, etc., Wurk has really worked on putting their employees first and it is really encouraging.

Cons

There has been a lot of turnover within the organization during my time, which puts a lot of pressure on the employees that decide to stay. At times it is very discouraging, especially when the great employees leave, because it feels like a setback and it makes it hard to move forward and continue making progress. The turnover has improved recently, but its still a lingering issue. My hope is the company continues to encourage retention and positive attrition. There is no 401K match which is a huge letdown. There has been talk about setting this up, but it has not happened yet.
