Pros

Great coworkers. Food. Relaxed environment.

Cons

Everyone is getting laid off because of gross financial mismanagement and an uncaring CEO. Managers are getting promoted due to personal relationships instead of talent. There's no point in working with great people when you know the management cares little about destroying people's lives.

The frustration felt by some past and even current employees is understandable. We appreciate and respect the feedback and it is important that these types of reviews are recognized and responded to. We have been very fortunate to find and hire amazingly talented, genuinely great people who have helped grow the company, which makes having to adjust to an ever changing industry that much more difficult. With competitors and businesses similar to Shared shutting down and closing their doors permanently due to recent changes on social media platforms it is an important reminder on how companies need to learn to adjust quickly in order to move forward. We have taken great care to make sure our employees feel appreciated and valued and it becomes especially difficult when the industry shifts and a young growing company feels those changes more deeply than others. Change is never easy, but adapting to it is what this business and industry thrives on and we will continue to evolve any way that we can, unfortunately that includes pivoting the direction of the business, refocusing on other priorities and making internal adjustments.

Pros

Some of the best things about working at Shared is the friendly outgoing staff you get to work with - they're very good at hiring people that will fit in well with the Shared family. Another is the flexible hours work schedule - Shared is very understanding that we all have lives outside of work, and even though we try our best to schedule things around regular hours, it doesn't always end up that way. All in all, Shared is a very fun, exciting, and relaxed work environment always looking for new creative minds to join in.

Cons

There is really only one con that I can think about when it comes to working at Shared, and that would be the lower end salaries. I believe that the work being put in, doesn't always reflect the salary that is being made, and that is something I would really like to see changed.

Pros

The culture at Shared is unlike anything I've ever experienced in a workplace before. Everyone is really creative, hard working, and want to help others do their best. It's great to work in such a positive team environment. Going to work is something I really look forward to!

Cons

The salaries are really the only thing that I would say are a drawback to an otherwise great workplace. It seems as though there there isn't a lot of room for people to get paid much more than the base salaries for each position. The company does have privileges though that help balance out the lower salaries (benefits, great work/life balance, free food at work, relaxed work environment, dogs in the office, etc.).
