Pros

There aren't any to list.

Cons

The Owner lacks all leadership skills, is a reactive boss rather than a proactive leader. His knowledge in the industry is completely lacking, and hasn't kept up with the evolving nature of the industry. Regularly would give employees payroll checks that bounced, used company funds for personal gains and embezzlement. Every client who was capable of contacting him directly would cause him to treat everything as if it was an emergency, calling and texting his employees all hours of the night, then not even considering to compensate them for obliging him. His salary employees he would abuse their willingness to keep clients happy. The company has no benefits, no insurance, and he pays 20-50% below the local and national average. The 90 day "Probationary Pay" turns into your indefinite pay scale unless you bring it to his attention, however, even if you do bring your pay to his attention at that time he will lie and claim he never promised any pay change. It is in your best interest to record every conversation you have with the owner as otherwise you will likely have no evidence of his deceitfulness.

Thank you for sharing your perspective from your time at WebWorks89 in 2018. We are sorry to hear that your experience was so negative and that you left with such serious concerns about leadership, compensation, and ethics. Out of respect for the privacy of current and former employees and clients, and because some of the statements you’ve made involve serious legal and ethical allegations, we will not address specific situations or individuals in a public forum. We do, however, take concerns about payroll reliability, separation of personal and business finances, fair compensation, and after-hours expectations very seriously. Since the period you’re referencing, we have worked to strengthen our internal controls and processes, including tightening accounting practices, standardizing how compensation and any changes are documented in writing, clarifying expectations for after-hours communication and workload, and improving how roles and responsibilities are defined and communicated to team members. We recognize that small businesses can face real financial and operational challenges, but that does not lessen the need for transparency, professionalism, and consistency. We understand that your experience did not reflect the kind of workplace you or we would want. We appreciate the time you invested while you were here and remain committed to continuing to improve how we operate and how we support the people who choose to work with us.

Pros

laid back work environment, but its too laid back. CEO is never on time for any meetings putting everyone else behind for the day. Family oriented int eh sense that the CEO and head of sales are married, makes for an interesting environment.,

Cons

unorganized, understaffed, high turn over rate. The business its self has mismanaged and run into the ground.

Thank you for sharing your perspective from your time working as a developer at WebWorks89. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you left with such a strongly negative view of the company and its leadership. Out of respect for current and former employees, and because your comments include personal characterizations and serious accusations, we will not address specific claims or individuals in a public forum. What we can say is that we take concerns about trust, communication, and how people experience leadership very seriously, especially when someone has been with the company for an extended period of time. Since 2019, we have focused on bringing more structure and transparency to the business, including clarifying expectations for each role, improving internal communication, and tightening processes around project management, compensation discussions, and client work. We recognize that our environment and leadership style will not be the right fit for everyone, but we are committed to learning from feedback and continuing to build a more professional and supportive workplace for those who choose to work with us.
