As you can see, we believe in diverse workplaces, and do not discriminate against employees based on race, gender, sexual orientation, economic background or religion. We have never and will never disqualify a candidate based on these variables. We care about ensuring that our workplace is friendly and that our team is as diverse as our online community.
As for revenue: we have a healthy stream of revenue that is consistently growing, happy customers, and have helped thousands of businesses stay in business or get started. We have helped create hundreds of American jobs. While we are building our core product features we are not fundraising, so claims of “losing” investors are inaccurate, and unsubstantiated, as are the revenue figures mentioned in the above review.
We have had to put some team members on improvement plans. Our leadership team is dedicated to listening to team members and their direct reports and when we hear of mismanagement, wrongdoing and unfriendly behavior, we give that feedback to management and the team member so that behavior can be improved.
While we are not perfect, we continue to dedicate ourselves and team members to continued growth. We are actively hiring for an Operations leader, with someone that shares our values and vision.
