Pros

- Good position to jump start your IT career. - Very friendly people and awesome to work with - Some times you get free left over food - Occasionally free swag

Cons

- Management and leadership needs to trust their employees more. - Seeking help for outside of work can go against you and hold against you from everyone. So even if they say to ask for "Help". Don't. Trust me. - Every answer from leadership is "I don't know." in general. - Work life balance is going out the window for some people after merge.

Pros

The Chuck and Dave aura is real....they are truly amazing humans and business leaders. Consistently put franchisees and employees ahead of short term business metrics. Loved the office vibes. Wellbeing Fridays. Summer parking lot concerts. Fall firepit chats.

Cons

New CEO came onboard through the merger and while smart, sharp and savvy, lacks the empathy, leadership inspiration and coolness that was here...I fear the best days of SEB are behind us.

Pros

Nothing, the old culture that Chuck and Dave built with Self Esteem Brands is dead.

Cons

The company (pre-merger) used to care about its employees and the culture it built. Once Chuck and Dave stepped down, it went downhill fast. Merging with Orange Theory was the worse possible thing they could have done to kill ANY of the positives this company had. It wasn’t even a merger, it was a takeover. The current CEO is so out of touch with times and his employees that it’s laughable. Want to adopt a hybrid work to balance life and work? Nope, that’s out the door. Why? Because he wants meetings to happen in the office when all meetings happen over MS Teams anyways. Even when you’re in the office. It’s basically a way to justify paying for the property. Not only that, they want you to work harder and not get paid what you’re worth. Stay far and away from this company.
