Pros

Learn news things. Wear many hats. Things are always changing. Work from home 4/5 days Flexible PTO (not unlimited)

Cons

Layoffs. Layoff. Layoff. Things are always changing. Wearing many hats. Watching coworkers get laid off or quit all around you makes you feel like walking on ice. Pay freezes when salary is far below market. Only agents get shout-outs and receive awards/bonuses. Most of the company is failing to understand the hard work other departments do. Agents have no real idea how supported they are! One department has no idea what other departments' roles are. Hard to work together completely when people don’t understand the how. Communication is either too much or not enough. Leadership is not transparent. Mike Maher is great on paper. When it’s time for him to actually know his employees, he’s gone. I sent him a connection on LinkedIn months ago. He looks at my profile but hasn’t accepted my connection. If your CEO doesn’t wanna connect, what is the point!? They made a mistake in some hiring but instead of fixing the said mistake, they are rolling with it. Losing amazing people in the process. I don’t have high expectations about the longevity of Houwzer. Each employee works with a layoff shadow over them looming. It’s not comfortable. Teams lost half their staff and are told they just have double the work. D&I isn’t a “passion” All white male speakers at “Launch 2022” was pointed out and the response was “I didn’t even think of that." Very tone-deaf emails are being sent to employees. There is even a lack of diversity in our marketing on LinkedIn... Suz did an amazing job representing the females at Launch. One speaker.

Pros

The company provides Salary plus Commission

Cons

The leadership changed due to a merger, and the new leadership looked to reduce the salary and commission.
