Pros

100 % remote work Staff- overall, the employees are good people Unlimited PTO

Cons

Motus is owned by two private equity firms. The second firm came in as of January, 2023. With being owned by private equity comes big expectations. This puts a significant amount of pressure on the business to delivery from the top down. Motus has been the market leader for a number of years. However, they are starting to lose market because of their pricing approach with trying to win new logo’s and price increases to customers on renewals. Also, due to the current market conditions, prospects and customers are forced to look at alternatives. This is causing the company culture to shift. Most sales people are struggling to hit their numbers because of the big quotas that were assigned at the beginning of the fiscal year. Sales people are being put on 30 day performance plans(which means they really want you out). They fired the CRO who was new. Turnover is happening right now more than usual.

Pros

WFH, “unlimited” PTO (at about 2-2.5 weeks per year they start bring up having HR approve), home office stipend, great coworkers.

Cons

•Higher up held a meeting to “brainstorm” Glassdoor reviews ideas bc he didn’t feel the rating reflected how his experience was with people he thought would agree to try and boost rating. Below is why it’s low sir: •No accountability, good workers get more work and bad workers are allowed to continue being bad. •Outsourcing that leads to loosing customers then laying off Motus agents instead of addressing the real problem that causes customers to leave. • Pushing AI everywhere •No growth opportunities for good workers •Low Pay for the amount of work pushed on people •Excluded from the rest of the company. • Yearly top performance award for hard work has now become a popularity contest instead of based on work and is impossible to fill out for some job roles. •Zero team building, Zero employee appreciation, the “recognition” platform introduced this past year is another popularity contest and has zero effect on anything. Management recognizing management is a joke. • Forced to work holidays that the rest of the company has off. •Excluded from “All Company” meetings. • Micromanagement • Lack of real training for people. •No work/life balance, workers are just numbers.
