Pros

The people on the team are wonderful. They are supportive, collaborative and genuinely want to see each other and the company succeed. Most of the job is work from home, depending on your clients, so the flexibility is great. Benefits are pretty competitive for a small company.

Cons

The "leadership team" is two underqualified individuals on a power trip. Neither of them have any proven experience in leading businesses or people nor have they demonstrated the ability to try and do right by their team/people. The CEO views her employees as walking $ and doesn't care about them as people like she claims to. If you aren't making her as much money as possible, she'll make you feel worthless. She makes snarky comments about other employees and their personal lives and it's very unprofessional and immature. Overall, the behavior of the leadership team is disappointing and has a negative impact on the work environment. The closer you are to the leadership team, the more toxic the environment is. If you can stay away from them, it can be a great place to work. Not a lot of room for advancement in your career, responsibilities or compensation. Pay increases YOY are less than 3% while boasting about how well the company is doing.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I truly appreciate your kind words about the team—the people at Pivot Strategies are indeed at the center of everything we do and I am proud to work alongside such a talented and supportive group. That being said, I would like to address some of the concerns you raised, particularly because so much has changed since this review was posted. I understand that your experience at the time was shaped by challenges that we have since worked hard to overcome. We have invested significant time and effort into building a stronger leadership team and I’m confident that the leadership today is far more aligned and experienced than what you encountered. Our company values our employees deeply because, quite simply, without our people, there would be no business. Every decision we make revolves around ensuring the well-being and success of our team. Since the time of your review, we’ve worked to create a healthier and more transparent work environment, including better opportunities for career growth, clear communication, and meaningful feedback loops that are actually acted upon. We have also focused on creating a more balanced and positive culture across all levels of the organization. I take feedback seriously and strive to be the best leader I can be, learning from past experiences to improve the company for our employees and our clients. The people on our team are not just assets to me—they are the reason we succeed. We have made great strides in providing competitive compensation, career development opportunities, and an environment where every person feels valued and heard. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. I wish you all the best and if you ever find yourself reflecting on the current state of Pivot Strategies, I hope you'll see the progress we’ve made toward a stronger, more positive company.

Pros

Though we receive medical and dental benefits, that's all the company can offer. We were allowed to work remote, but with the manager calling for us basically almost every single time, we couldn't really enjoy working from home. But I'm thankful to find a few good people here who supports me.

Cons

A company full of narcissistic people especially in management and most of all, the CEO! Your faults will be emphasized and thrown to your face during meetings, you'll get the blame for everything even when the problem is the incompetent leadership! Also, management has no interest unpeople's progress, much more invest in their people! They see us as disposable because they can just easily replace us with younger, new graduates, who they pay below the industry average! Everyone here works out of fear, from being humiliated while being insulted and yelled at, and from the thinking that we might get fired just because the CEO said so!
