Pros

Remote work and some great coworkers.

Cons

A month ago, I was optimistic about Rightworks, praising the company's expansive new facilities and the significant opportunities highlighted during our lavish sales kickoff. However, my situation has drastically changed. Despite exceeding my sales targets early, I found myself abruptly unemployed, with no prior indication from management. The company recently showcased its deep pockets by flying in 200 employees for a grand event featuring celebrities and expensive entertainment. Yet, when it came to supporting staff who were suddenly let go, the resources mysteriously dried up. The same day I was terminated, I learned about my fate not through direct communication but by the absence of reassurance others received. Despite the praises from executives, including being labeled an “A-player,” I was offered a minimal severance that barely considered my needs or those of my family. The dismissal process lacked empathy and support, with benefits cut off instantly and no aid offered to transition, despite the company's ample resources displayed just weeks prior. This stark contrast in treatment has left me and several peers questioning the company’s priorities and ethics. As I scramble to adjust my personal life, including explaining to my young daughter why I won’t be traveling to a previously planned company event, I feel compelled to share this experience. For those considering a position at Rightworks, be aware that the outward corporate glamour might not reflect the reality of its treatment of valued employees.

Pros

The people you work with day to day are the best part of the job. Friendly, capable and willing to help.

Cons

The company is not in a good place. Leadership decisions have hurt morale and the business and the culture has gotten worse over time. If you're considering joining ask hard questions about strategy, turnover and what it's actually like to work here.
