      Pros

      Hard pressed to identify any. If you enjoy an endless amount of work dumped on you with no useful direction prioritization or support- then this is the place for you.

      Cons

      Leadership is lacking in ethics and confidence in decisions and senior management seems to find joy and satisfaction in setting up individuals to fail. Marketing team can barely hold onto talent- most quit after three months or are fired without cause. If you’re not perceived as popular by the CMO- then your days are numbered.

      This is John, the CEO. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Not fun to read, but still appreciate that you took the time to share it. As you know, we've spent the past year evolving and growing our marketing team. While I'm very excited about where we're going here, I also recognize that it has brought a lot of change within the team. I am personally very thankful for everyone who has played a part in our journey here as we work towards bringing our mission and Homebase to many more local businesses. As you know, one of our cultural values is “In Service”: we always want to be operating in service of not only our small business owners and hourly workers, but also teammates. If you'd like to share more about your feedback, definitely feel free to email me directly

      Good comp. Poor work-life balance.

      Pros

      The comp at Homebase is competitive and the people are passionate and inspiring folks to work with. Get to work with and for some really inspiring small businesses.

      Cons

      The work-life is poor and burnout is an issue. Micro-managing happens often, and the pressure is high.

      Misleading Communication Around Layoffs

      Pros

      - Great mission - Great people to work with - Free lunch on office days

      Cons

      Lack of transparency: The CEO repeatedly assured employees in company-wide meetings that the company was financially healthy, even mentioning that a competitor was planning layoffs while we were in a strong position. However, shortly after, the company unexpectedly announced its own layoffs. This disconnect between leadership's messaging and actions severely impacted trust within the organization.

      Hi there, we have not done any layoffs since 2020 during Covid. We did make some adjustments to staffing levels within different teams to rebalance against our goals for the year, as we do all of the time. Sometimes this means saying bye to good performers on the team, which is unfortunate, but it's generally pretty limited in scope as we make changes. However, we make these changes so that we can maximize our impact every year helping local businesses. We are currently hiring as a company across a variety of roles.
