Pros

There are literally zero pros.

Cons

If you enjoy being micro-managed then Spero is the place for you! The fact that the company is barely afloat, has a constant rotating door of employees and tragic on-site training. Your training will be one on one with the owner and will end with a presentation in front of all the employees. It's very juvenile and a giant waste of time. As if all of that weren't enough, they expect you to dedicate your entire life to recruiting for IT jobs-even though the compensation and benefits are mediocre at best. The owner does not encourage or even like to hear about employees having other hobbies or passions. He outwardly complains about past employees that enjoyed playing recreational sports leagues in their free time and choose to use their PTO to do so. Finally, please note that the owner is really strict with dress code and timeliness. He recently implemented a 100 push-up penalty for being a minute late to work.

First, I’m sorry to hear that your experience at Spero did not match our intention to be the best place you have ever worked. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent, and collaborative environment for all our employees. We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve but I wanted to address a couple of your concerns. I believe that professional development and the investment we make in our employees is the bedrock of our commitment to make Spero a place worth investing in. Through our daily team meetings, company mixers, dinner gatherings, off-site events for team members and their families, and one-on-one meetings, I’m working hard to invest personally in the growth of every single team member. We also try to maintain a fun, dynamic and caring environment as we grow. I am sorry that our efforts did not meet your expectations. That said, I’m thankful that you took the time to share your opinion here so that I and others can reflect on it and think about ways we can adapt and do more to ensure you and others feel valued and appreciated. I genuinely care about this company, our awesome team, and the investment each of us makes to build this company. Feel free to contact me with any additional feedback at apatricio@sperosolutions.com. I wish you the best of luck in the future. I hope you find the environment you are looking for in a company. Sincerely, Anthony Patricio Founder

Management is TERRIBLE. These people have got to be some of the greediest people I’ve ever come across. They would set CRAZY metrics and the reward would be a raffle ticket for a drawing that just never happened. And hope you like meetings … because you’ll have plenty. 8am sharp huddle, another right after lunch, monthly, quarterly meetings JUST to talk about how much they’re making off all your hard work. And apparently they got them in there working until 6 or 7 o clock these days. I was gone before they started doing all that but yep just changing the schedule so they make the most money out of your salaried time. You will be yelled at and belittled if you’re not doing exactly what they expect you to be doing at any given time or if you’re not making them enough money. Don’t even think about filing a complaint about management practices or you’ll be considered “DEFIANT.” I could go on and on about the malpractices that occur in that office every single day but I’ll save you some time. Please do not work here.
