      Terrible company. Leadership is terrible

      Pros

      Team is dedicated to the company mission

      Cons

      Leadership doesn't listen to employees. They waste money and have no basis for growth strategy. The team told the CEO for months to grow more cautiously and no one listened. They laid off staff by November. Lots of senior members of leadership left, and HR is trying but it's obvious we have no trustworthy plan for growth. The company has no money and the CEO is flying by the seat of his pants.

      Hi, This is Greg, COO of GreenBiz. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your acknowledgment of our team's dedication to our mission. We respectfully disagree with your assessment regarding the lack of a growth strategy. We are proud of the strategy we developed that delivered double-digit year-on-year growth in 2023, and the continued growth we are experiencing for 2024. Unfortunately we did miss our Q4 revenue targets last year that did require layoffs -- a situation that many similar companies faced last year that was very challenging for the talented and committed people who were affected. But it was a necessary decision to ensure a sustainable future for our company and allow us to continue to deliver on our mission. We understand the importance of listening to our employees and we are committed to fostering open communication. We encourage you to reach out directly to HR, your manager or our leadership to discuss your concerns further if you feel comfortable doing so.

      Pros

      - Great coworkers - everyone is supportive, friendly, approachable and easy to work with. - Meaningful mission - Fun to travel to our events - Fully remote, flexible, great work/life balance - Discretionary PTO - Hopeful for growth/promotion within the company (we will see)

      Cons

      - No 401k match - A lot of staff turnover (and employees being let go quickly) - Leadership team is quick to make changes and not realize it's impact on the team - A lot of layoffs last year was unsettling

      Hi, this is Nick from the People & Culture team. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you value our supportive and approachable team, the Trellis Group mission, and the flexibility of a fully remote environment. It’s always so energizing to see our team at our events and agree it’s a lot of fun! Thank you for highlighting benefits like a 401k match—this is valuable input as we continue to evaluate ways to enhance our benefits package for the future. Unfortunately, it has been a tough market to navigate the last couple of years in our industry with many companies having gone through similar uneasy waters. Our team is constantly assessing to ensure we have a sustainable future for our company that allows us to continue to deliver on our mission. Turnover is also a natural part of a business, sometimes out of our control for folks who are ready for their next career journey. Our hope is that they were able to gain valuable experience during their time at Trellis to support their longer career goals! You can always reach out to your manager and/or the People & Culture team anytime. We're happy to chat further on anything and provide support. Thank you again for your feedback.

      Bad leadership lead to overgrowth and mass layoff

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The individual employees who work at GreenBiz are some of the smartest people I've ever had the privilege to work with. I never felt like the smartest person in the (virtual room) and was always excited to learn from my colleagues. The company has a nice balance of remote work and also getting together four times a year for events. Everyone really cares about the work they are doing

      Cons

      The leadership is pretty inept at this point. The team that worked okay leading a small 30 person company is not who should be in charge if they are trying to aggressively grow. The company made the very pedestrian mistake of obviously over-hiring, ignoring the signs of an economic slow down (pointed out to leadership by many) which resulted in a mass layoff of both the newly hired and long term veterans. It's stated goal was to invest in digital media but laid off many content creators while keeping event operations organizers and marketers. The money spending is also not very strategic.

      Hi, This is Greg, the COO of GreenBiz. First off, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback. We hear you and definitely recognize how hard this decision was on the incredibly talented teammates who were impacted by our 15% reduction in force. I can’t emphasize enough how appreciative we are of the work you and the rest of the team have contributed to GreenBiz. It was certainly a difficult decision, but given the macroeconomic climate—forcing many companies to make similarly difficult decisions—this was a hard but necessary choice to ensure we can sustain our business and deliver on our mission to empower professional communities to confront the climate crisis. This has been a learning experience for many of us, and we hope to use those learnings and feedback like yours to more effectively work towards our goals in 2024. --Greg
