Pros

Free Betterhelp access to help you endure working at Bushel ;)

Cons

-Mediocre pay (despite what leadership may tell you about being paid market rates, you're still probably/will be under paid.) -High turnover -There are many individuals in leadership positions who probably, in my opinion, shouldn't be, including those in the c-suite -"Flexible PTO": open/flexible/unlimited PTO policies largely benefit the company itself rather than its workers, despite how leadership may frame the "benefit" (e.g. "No PTO accruals or balances!") 1. It's a well-known fact that workers at organizations with such policies take fewer days off on average (13) than workers who accrue time off. 2. Since workers don't accrue, or earn time off, the company isn't obligated to pay them out upon departure. 3. The company benefits from this seemingly anti-worker policy financially, like demonstrated in the second point, since they're no longer required to record PTO as a liability in their financial statements. -It seems like certain reviews, like the one titled "Empowering and Supportive Workplace" from May 18, 2022, may have been written by HR or someone influenced by HR/leadership in an effort to artificially inflate the average rating and overall sentiment. Disappointing if that's the case.

Bushel Response
3y
Well, at least we can agree that Betterhelp is a great resource and we hope that you did take the opportunity to use that service. - In regards to pay, we won't bore you with our typical response. However, while we try to stay competitive, we know we might never be the highest paying employer. But we do our best to find other ways that we can reward our team. - Also we acknowledge that with flexible PTO, we do run the risk of team members not taking advantage of the days and taking less time. That's why we did go to a limited PTO for a couple years. However, we came back based on factors that we believe benefit both the employer and employee. - Anyone in the team may leave Glassdoor reviews and we all have they expectation that they are honest experiences. We wish you well in your future career endeavors and hope you find the right organization for you.

Pros

This really used to be a magical place to work. Bushel rode an incredible wave of growth pre- and post-pandemic. Left with fond memories of a very different era.

Cons

- CEO is showing signs of desperation after a poor all-in strategy on fintech. - Anyone you see in the photos on their website or this page probably doesn't work here anymore. They're on 7+ RIFs and counting in the last few years and 150+ employees than their peak. - Poor performance management and growth. This is not somewhere you join to see meaningful career movement with promotions or salary increases. This is where you get hired/bet on and grow a lot with the experience and ownership they give you. This is also a con for other experienced team members who get unqualified team members thrown into the mix semi-regularly. Speaking of unqualified team members, Bushel is notorious for being bad at firing and holding on to poor talent for far too long. - Latest obsession with AI also reeks of desperation. Has repeatedly made statements about engineers being "lazy" or untalented because of the immediate deadlines and pressure they set. AI is not a silver bullet for any company and especially this one. - Has never put in the muscle needed for financial modeling and rigor around pricing, deals, etc. Bushel will do anything for the next ten dollars in front of them, even if it costs them a thousand worth of labor and resources to make it happen. This led to a whack-a-mole strategy of scrambling for the next customer signature only to completely ignore them once they're onboarded. This cycle gets old.
