The people I managed were fantastic. Most of the employees a couple of years ago were brilliant and devoted. Once Morgan left, things fell apart
Cons
Upper management was ALWAYS horrible (after Morgan Stewart left) no honesty, no drive, hiring friends and always showed favoritism
There was NO way to grow, nor to be heard. Way too much instability and NO ONE was ever making sales. Very frustrating

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take employee concerns seriously and are actively working to improve our management practices, communication, and growth opportunities. We appreciate the dedication you showed during your time with us and will use this input to create a better workplace culture at Shift.
Lots of room to create your own structure and process.
Respectful that employees are people.
The organization actually cares about DEI, operationally, not just as lip service.
Tons of opportunity for learning.
Thoughtful CEO, who communicates clearly.
Cons
It is a difficult industry space for an org to enter, and I don't know anyone who does full service consultancy + agency particularly well. If you're gritty and you like creating your own structure, this can also be a pro.

Pros
You will be a fool to seek any pros here. It's not a decent workplace for people who want clear boundaries and hope to enjoy some work-life balance. These awful people will never respect the lines you draw.
Cons
The work expectations were ridiculously high. Employees were expected to be available 24/7, work on multiple projects, and meet client expectations while balancing poorly assigned deadlines.
It was a struggle to show up every day when you knew they expected too much from you. It was exhausting to try to reason with the arrogant leadership that did nothing but pile horrible expectations.
They also didn't give me enough room to grow. My learning stopped, and I was doing boring work for months. There was no career growth, either. Overall, it was a horribly frustrating experience, and I escaped before I could be trapped here for long.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that you felt overwhelmed and unsupported during your time with us. Your feedback about workload expectations, work-life balance, and development opportunities is taken seriously.
We recognize that unrealistic deadlines and unclear boundaries can lead to burnout, and this is not the environment we want to create. Our new leadership is working to actively address these issues. Again, thank you for the feedback.
