Pros

Fast paced work environment, lots of activity, great coworkers who really want to move up in their careers. There are some seriously motivated and caring people working there that I would love to work with again someday.

Cons

Just read the reviews. There are only 2 types. 5 star and 1 star. That isn't normal and is pretty telling of the company culture. A small number at the top are playing an endless game of bum-covering by canning the first guy who walks by after something goes bad then they combat poor reviews with copy that sounds like a motivational speech. Check the old customer records, more often than not entries made more than a year or two ago were made by someone that is no longer here. These reviews are making hiring a challenge and there is a concerted effort to fix the reputation without fixing the problems.

While it is our intention to offer a career experience that rises above expectations, it is clear that our approach and company culture is not suited for everyone. We strive to improve our offering to both our clients and our team members through their feedback and engagement. We can assure you that these comments do not go unheard and that we take the health and culture of our business seriously. We appreciate the opportunity to learn, to grow, and to get better because of them.

Pros

This company is getting a lot of things right. It starts with looking at each candidate for a cultural fit, as much as the skill set they would bring. I've seen time and time again the absolute dedication to getting the right people in the right positions. It's a work hard, play hard atmosphere. If you want to grow professionally and personally, this team is amazing, challenging, open, and caring. If you're not open to challenging yourself to be better than you were the day before, then you probably wouldn't be a good fit. This company really cares about its employees and has demonstrated it in many ways since my employment began. I have many years of experience and have never felt more appreciated or cared for by another company. In addition to company culture, EarQ cares very much about its members and the programs we offer. We're always looking for ways to improve. I honestly don't understand some of the negative reviews posted here, but I'm glad I went with my gut and didn't take them too much to heart. I believe it can be a hard pill to swallow for some people when they realize their performance, attitude, or hunger for growth doesn't match what the company is looking for. A wellness program, company outings, ping pong and basketball in the back, gym equipment and frequent company cookouts for lunch are all just bonuses to the awesome work environment and open door policy. Oh, and nobody asked me to write this review. I'm writing in on my own accord.

Cons

There are some growing pains as the company expands, but that is to be expected. The changing industry creates some challenges to expand on our offerings. Resources are somewhat limited with a small team, but the company is dedicated to expanding its workforce by 50% over the next few years.

Pros

The concept is good but all smoke and mirrors.

Cons

Too many to list them all. If you are not a party buddy don't expect to go far. The leadership is terrible and very unexperienced. The are back stabbers and ugly people. Many have jumped ship because it is sinking fast. They do not provide the services they SAY they offer. Smoke and mirrors. Don't expect them to follow through with promises.
