Pros

Not having to worry about getting dragged into HR if you used the wrong pronouns by accident was nice.

Cons

Regardless of how many hours you work, or how many goals you "exceed" expectations, you are just a number. They promise no massive layoffs ever again but there have been multiple. The most insulting thing is being considered a great employee and out of the blue be let go with minimal notice to gather your thoughts, and being sent on your way with ONE pay period severance!!

Pros

As a whole, the work environment is good. Every interaction I had with co-workers was great. There is something to be said about working with like minded individuals. The remote environment worked well because working for PublicSquare you really feel like a part of a family. The CEO is a hype man and this fuels the overall team energy. I think deep down they are good people and hope they can get past their growing pains but I have my doubts in their ability to do this.

Cons

We were required to be in so many meetings everyday that it interfered with our other duties. There is so much wasteful spending at this company I can only imagine the impact it had on the bottom line. Mismanagement of money will ultimately be the downfall if not remedied. Here you have a “start-up” operating on investment dollars yet they take lavish leadership retreats, expensive dinners, and constant unnecessary travel. They up and decided to leave our location in California then flew people out to them constantly. They spend an ungodly amount of money on promoters that they can not retain good talent to help the company grow. They constantly speak against using Amazon and big box stores but they all shop these places daily. The products on their own website are so expensive, there is no advantage to shopping on it. They talk about growing American businesses but their diapers are made in Mexico.
