Pros

The company has phenomenal HR and Marketing teams. You can see some of their handy work on this very site as they have written all the positive reviews for this company.

Cons

Employees are regularly promised bonuses and inventives only to later be told the company isn't able to pay said bonuses. The company spends ridiculous amounts of money on fancy Christmas parties and team building activities while most of their employees are working well below what they're worth. The owners of the company seem to be more concerned with their own fame rather than the well being of their employees. Turnover is disgustingly high. Hiring/firing happens on a weekly basis. Large layoffs happen every few years. This company does not know how to retain it's people and it's no wonder with the poor quality with which this company is run.

Pros

This is the most employee wellness focused company I have worked for. They love celebrating the wins of their employees and really take time to get to know everyone. I'm also thoroughly impressed with their training structure. Its self-led but with tons of support. They take feedback very seriously and implement positive changes as soon as they can. In my time here, I have not seen them falter from their core values once. They also genuinely care about the businesses they help form, and are proud of the jobs they have helped create.

Cons

I personally have not found one yet in my time here, but I will say this job is best for people who thrive in independent environments.

Wow. Thanks for making my day. The thing I'm most proud of that you shared: "they take feedback seriously and implement positive changes." We're definitely not perfect, but if we can keep living that, then we'll be living our value of Excellence (get a little better every day). - Cheers, Jeremy Ames, CEO & Co-founder
