Pros

You get a free pair of boots every month.

Cons

Management isn’t educated in their field and will offer you nothing but a power trip. You will not grow or learn anything by working here. They will devalue you and make you feel like a mindless robot chained to your desk. You will be micromanaged beyond belief. I’ve seen employees cry on a daily basis due to management here. Your ideas, opinions, creativity, etc… will not be taken into consideration regardless of your background or education. Favoritism is extremely apparent on a regular basis. Benefits, especially PTO, are the biggest slap in the face. You get four paid holidays yearly, and if they fall on a weekend, you don’t get the Friday before or Monday after off. In 2021, we were given one holiday off.. that’s it. If you enjoy any form of a work life balance, this most definitely is not the place for you. Working from home, isn’t an option at all. Management will find a way to tear you down regularly, regardless of how hard you work, in order to avoid promoting you or providing you with a raise. DO NOT take a lower salary, even if they offer you a “signing bonus”. They will NEVER give you that signing bonus. You’re required to clock in & out, even if you’re a salary employee. They will take away PTO time for doctor’s appointments and if you’re sick. You’re only allowed a 30min lunch break even if you’re a salary employee and will be given a “strike” if you take anything longer. Collaboration and new ideas are HIGHLY discouraged. Management will happily yell at you while alone in the building and tell you that they will replace you, if you offer any new ideas or suggestions for processes within the company to help improve your job or workflow. They’re constantly hiring new employees because their turnover is so high. They do not care about their employees, they do not want to see them grow and they do not value quality people or work.

- New ownership has brought a positive and motivated energy to the company - CEO is transparent, involved, approachable, and genuinely invested in rebuilding the right way - There’s finally a clear vision and business direction, which feels refreshing - Leadership expectations are realistic - Working remote is a huge plus and leadership trusts employees to manage their work - Good opportunity to grow professionally because the company is actively evolving - Teams are more collaborative now and communication between departments has improved significantly - You can feel that people actually want the company to succeed again - Higher compensation opportunities than previous ownership. Focus on employee trust and retention

Cons

- Since the company is still rebuilding and growing under new ownership, some processes are still being figured out - Certain teams are stretched thin while the company continues scaling

Pros

Remote, good benefits, flexible work schedule. Goid employee discount

Cons

New CEO says he want to build a positive work environment. All current leadership are loyalists who stuck around and got title promotions. No leadership training is being provided. Under qualified leaders who fit the aesthetic and participate in the toxic mean girls/click type behavior make up the core group. Communication is terrible. No training or expectation setting, just told you didn’t meet expectations. Standing up for yourself or calling out bad policies means you have a bad attitude. Not a place for neurodivergents.
