Disorganized and Poorly Managed, Proceed with Caution
Pros
1406 Consulting offers a fully remote work environment, which provides flexibility and autonomy. The team is welcoming and kind to work with.
Cons
What started off as a promising opportunity quickly turned into a frustrating experience due to a lack of structure and leadership. There’s no formal onboarding or training, which leaves you to figure everything out on your own. The employee manual looks like it was copied from another website and includes references to in office time and company equipment, neither of which apply in this fully remote setup. To make matters worse, employees are expected to use their own personal equipment since the company doesn't provide anything. There was also no concept of HR during my time here. The CEO’s leadership style is all over the place, either overbearing or completely absent, not to mention a mix of being pleased on some days and pissed off on others. You never know which side you're going to get. Promises of raises, bonuses, and career growth that were made during the hiring process never materialize into anything. Turnover is high, especially among female employees, as leadership’s engagement fades once the initial excitement wears off. The things that made this company initially enjoyable are no longer there. There's a ton of other agencies. Find another one.
