Pros

Clients and work are incredibly fun to be apart of.

Cons

- management is incredibly toxic. Even though we had unlimited PTO, got pushback for asking to take a day off to go to a funeral... - worked 60+ hour weeks consistently while my boss left work early and got wine drunk at lunch - promotions and raises are dangled in front of you so you continue putting up with insane work hours and horrible pay but they never actually have the money to give you that raise or promotion - lack of growth opportunities

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Reading that you were given pushback for taking time off to attend a funeral is deeply concerning. That is not aligned with the culture we strive for at Karsh Hagan. One of the benefits we’re most proud of is our unlimited PTO policy — built on trust, respect, and the understanding that people need time away, especially in moments of grief. Employees should never be made to feel guilty for using that time when their work is being managed. We would have welcomed the opportunity to address this during your time here and ensure you felt supported. We also hear your concerns about workload and growth opportunities. We recognize that when people are putting in long hours, they deserve clear communication about advancement and fair compensation. These are areas we continue to focus on improving, and feedback like yours helps us better understand where our culture and practices may fall short of our intentions. We appreciate your time at Karsh Hagan and wish you the very best in your next chapter.

Pros

Management really cares about each employee as a person and supports you to take time off and really encourages a work life balance.

Benefits aren't as strong as bigger companies but they are open to feedback and improvements.

Pros

Your manager truly cares about your growth and development. Work-life balance is prioritized with our unlimited PTO. People truly do take time to relax and reset when it's needed. The culture is amazing. When you have an idea, you can run with it. I love that we now have a company-paid volunteer day and have expanded on our paid holidays. Medical benefits are fantastic!!!

Cons

- There should be more transparency regarding how to advance in your role and the associated compensation. - A wellness budget should be implemented to cover gym memberships; other agencies in town offer this benefit. - It appears that only certain departments receive opportunities for training outside of KH. - Favoritism by management. - Our maternity leave policy is horrible: employees must work here for 5 years to receive 100% coverage; otherwise, they only receive state-paid benefits. Considering that this company is led by a woman and has a predominantly female workforce, this is disappointing.
