Everything was great for 7 years until it just wasn't...growing pains are one thing. Lack of Integrity is another:
*Avolve (2019ish-2020ish)- Trailblazing CEO retires, new CEO shops for acquisition while hiring a CRO that created the most toxic environment and a deal was made 2021ish. That CEO retired at that time as well. Now the third and current CEO began hiring his friends and colleagues to take over C-level roles. Many existing employees treated unfairly and downright nasty. Original CEO would be so embarrassed to learn how his employees were inevitably mishandled.
*CRO devastated credible employees reputations to new C-levels and suggested over promised and fictitious sales pipelines that sales people were required to agree to causing big frustrations on sales team -set up to fail
*New C-levels do not take time to understand existing employees' strengths, rather made roles and performance feel inadequate
*New C-levels offer unfair compensation to same type roles with similar experiences and they do not show interest to promote within
*Overall uncertain environment for about 3 years, but last two were the most unsettling
*New C-level's are unfamiliar with the SLG marketplace and customer front making it very frustrating for employees and future of customers
*New C-levels could not provide comp plan commissions as promised, continued to give excuses why they could not pay those commissions….these were signed comp plans. We do the work, you are supposed to pay up.
*No pay raises…ever.
*Benefits are lacking which was a common complaint amongst the teams especially compared to the current hiring landscape. Expensive mediocre health insurance, no 401k match, no wellness stipend, no paid maternity/paternity, I heard they keep the employee number just low enough as to not abide by FMLA
*Be prepared to work on your PTO days
*Specifically to women applying here, come armored and definitely negotiate a higher compensation package initially because I guarantee you that you will be offered a lower rate than your male counterpart.
*When you run into a snag operationally or personally, keep it to yourself. There has never been a Human Resources professional on staff in my time here, so keep your issues to yourself or leave.
