Pros

Health insurance is included part of your employment.

Cons

Horrible communication between leaders and staff. Expect your job description and role to change every two seconds. Everyone is unhappy. No compensation for sales and bonuses. Even though you are told on paper you are given possible bonuses. Don't expect it because there will be a reason for why you did not achieve and receive your bonus. Leaders openly speak about employees being terminated or ask mutual colleagues about their opinions. This will be used against each other. No one should feel threatened for their jobs. There is no real HR and this is managed by bias-passively aggressive individuals. Company tries have the facade of a innovative startup mentality. Far from the 'it place' you would want to work at. Most of the time this company charges clients obnoxiously and cheats the clients by locking them into contracts. This company weighs it's options to either evict a client by how much they pay and if the client is up-to-par to the co-founders liking. Company has a clause in clients contracts with repercussions to not hire OfficeLinks personal. Be aware this won't be in your personal contract when you start working for the company. Stay far away.

Pros

Work Better is a great place to work if you're looking for a small dedicated team environment where everyone works really well together in order to deliver an exception product. There is a lot of growth potential as you get to work hand in hand with most every facet of the business. The small team dynamic feels more like a family and the upper management fosters a sense of ownership in your role. The culture is great here and I look forward to coming to work each morning.

Cons

Not much to say here. Maybe more vacation accrual time after 2 years of employment and not 3 years. But overall the benefits are really good.

Pros

Happy hour once a month. Good benefits (insurance)

Cons

Terrible place to be if you're looking for growth within your career. There is no real accountability or distinction among the different departments. People who have had no experience in Finance are taking over financial reports, employees in sales were helping to rewrite financial policies, operations were in charge of handling interior design changes within the space. Upper management is very cheap and will rather put a band-aid on a problem, than have their members in their best interests. Upper management were more concerned with having documented policies than to actual follow through with them through action. Too much turnover.
