Pros

Traverse City, Michigan (where oneupweb is located) is an amazing city with a lot of local foods, support, and activities. The oneupweb building is beautiful, but if you work there know that's why its not in your paycheck... The herman miller furniture is great and as the other review said the drip coffee is good. But any good employer would want their employees caffeinated.

Cons

Like many unsuspecting new hires, I thought OneUpWeb was something it is not. I read all the details online about how exciting and fun it is to work at OneUpWeb. However it was totally different working there. Every day feels like you are a child being ruled by the CEO. Each morning starts at 8am but you are penalized if you are not there before the CEO pulls into the parking lot. So that means 7:45 is usually when you have to be there. Then there is a lunch break from 12:30-1 then "recess" at 3:15-3:45. There is no room for personal time within that space either. Meaning you cannot make personal phone calls even in emergencies (you are required to go to the HR managers office to make a phone call, while she listens in) and you are not allowed to check your personal email, or even bring your personal cell phone into the building. Like I said not exactly the fun place it was advertised as... My hope is that if you are reading this you are seriously considering all the reviews of past employees. Read all the reviews before the OneUpWeb PR department tries to take them down. DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

Unrivaled company culture, with the opportunity to work alongside some truly talented, passionate people. Everyone worked as a team, even across departments, with no work being "too small" for any person. Everyone has a voice, and your contributions are immediately and directly felt. Couldn't recommend Oneupweb more!

Cons

Can't think of any cons

Pros

Oneupweb has a hardworking and dedicated team that consistently strives for excellence. Employees often go above and beyond.

Cons

While Oneupweb offers a strong, hardworking team, there are significant downsides. The company provides little room for career advancement, and the salary is not reflective of the high stress and workload expected. Work-life balance is almost nonexistent, with demands often spilling over into personal time. The fun social events can only do so much to make up for these challenges. Don’t always believe what you see on social media. Additionally, the CEO’s leadership style can be problematic. Initially supportive, his demeanor changes once you stop “drinking the kool-aid”. He’s displayed immature behavior and a lack of professionalism during employee departures. The company’s leadership, combined with its other limitations, can make it difficult to recommend as a long-term career option.
