Pros

Upper management appears disengaged so this provides employees with a high degree of autonomy to manage day-to-day operations independently.

Cons

The company recently underwent significant layoffs, which many employees attribute to questionable managerial decisions and ineffective business strategies. Despite a substantial reduction in staff—approximately one in four employees—very few management positions were affected. Many team members feel that communication has been lacking and that employee well-being is not a priority. The focus appears to be primarily on marketing and sales performance rather than on supporting staff or fostering a positive workplace culture. As a result, morale is currently very low. Upper management appears to lack the experience and adaptability needed to navigate challenging markets effectively. Many senior leaders have been with the company for an extended period, which may limit their perspective on current industry best practices. As a result, employees often feel unsupported and vulnerable to sudden organizational changes, including layoffs. STAY AWAY!

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts after being with 4Patriots for several years. We understand how difficult and unsettling organizational changes, especially those involving layoffs, can be. These decisions are made with careful consideration, and while they are never easy, they are sometimes necessary to ensure the long-term health of the company. That said, we know that the human impact is real, and we’re deeply sorry to hear that this period has left you feeling unsupported. Your concerns around communication, leadership engagement, and morale are not taken lightly. While we remain confident in the strategic direction we’re pursuing, your feedback reinforces the need to continue listening, evolving, and improving. One of our core values is “Actively Seek to Learn, Improve, and Grow,” and that applies to our leadership just as much as it does to individual team members. We’re committed to rebuilding trust, supporting our teams through change, and ensuring everyone has the resources and respect they deserve.

Micromanagement | Blatant Racism | Absolutely DISGUSTING & Predatory advertising | they recently laid off around 30-40 employees because the company is going bankrupt! But since I am a black male and they wanted to pick and choose who they paid a severance too. I was fired exactly 30 days prior to the mass layoffs with ZERO COMPENSATION | I had a 98% QA score that they graded every month | I had a 95+% Productivity grade and was receiving all bonuses and pay bumps allowed. I was told multiple times that “basically” I sounded to black on the phone | but the worst part was me sounding black was often labeled as me sounding disrespectful and or rude | EVEN THO I HAD A 92% Customer satisfaction score (customers leave reviews after every call) I was fired without an exit meeting or so much as a thank you for the last 10 months !! I’m fact I was simply locked out of my laptop and never heard from them again !!! I am absolutely stoked to see this company failing and hemorrhaging money ! I was fired with nearly perfect QA scores and others with failing scores were allowed to keep their jobs and collect severance once terminated 30 days after I was randomly fired for a call where two people were on speaker phone YELLING AND CURSING their hearts out ! If you are a person of color and you aren’t a pushover or absolutely desperate for work STAY AWAY !!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are deeply sorry to hear that you felt discriminated against and disrespected during your time with us. Allegations of discrimination, particularly racial bias, are extremely serious. These claims do not reflect the values or standards we uphold at 4Patriots, and we have established processes in place to investigate any such concerns thoroughly and objectively when they are brought forward through the appropriate channels. As with any business, tough decisions sometimes have to be made in response to operational challenges, and unfortunately, that includes workforce reductions. These decisions are made based on business needs, performance, and organizational priorities—never on personal or discriminatory grounds. While we cannot discuss individual personnel matters in a public forum, we can say that all employees are evaluated fairly and consistently. Severance decisions are handled in accordance with both internal policy and applicable employment laws. That said, we’re more than willing to continue this conversation privately. Please feel free to reach out directly to hr@4patriots.com. Thank you.
