Pros

Benefits? There are not alot of pros.

Cons

Previous reviews mentioned many of the same issues, and in my experience not much has changed — if anything, some areas felt worse. The company often feels more like a school environment than a professional workplace. There is a consistent culture of gossiping about other employees, this was happening at a senior level as well, which does not align with the core values that are presented. Leadership communication and professionalism need improvement. During my time there were multiple situations where I felt disrespected without clear explanation or constructive feedback. The company would benefit from stronger HR presence and more structured leadership training. There is also a lack of clear organizational structure. The mindset of “everyone works on everything” sounds collaborative in theory, but in practice it created confusion around responsibilities. At times I felt underutilized and did not have clearly defined tasks, which made professional growth difficult. Hiring decisions sometimes appeared to prioritize personal familiarity or personality fit over industry experience, which I believe to be the reason for the disorganization. I would encourage prospective employees to ask detailed questions about management style, role expectations, and workplace culture to make sure it aligns with what they are looking for.

Pros

Growing company that’s trying to “update” how they do things. They are trying to create company wide events, gatherings and activities to bring everyone together and create an inclusive environment. HR department is relatively new and looking to update the company to be inline with current standards. Board members are kind and willing to listen to staff.

Cons

Low pay and benefits are really lacking (although HR may be fixing that). Some corporate office department heads are very dismissive and look down on other staff. If you go to corporate office (meetings or work out of there) expect to be talked about. Extremely hostile work environment- very judgmental marketing manager. They preach culture and core values but yet have “bullies” they keep employed at high levels. Not a great representation when you preach kindness and such. Also, EXTREME lack of diversity in management and corporate office rolls. This is a “white mans” company through and through.
