Pros

The pro was that God allowed me to get out of that toxic and opened up a door to a better opportunity.

Cons

This was the worst place I've ever worked at! The environment was toxic, leadership was toxic & I've witnessed discrimination and disrespect of staff several times including myself. I've witnessed minority staff members talked down to, cussed and yelled at by upper management to production works and maintenance, I was verbally attacked by the COO & an attempt to make me quit within a few months, I was singled out and picked on because of other staff members insecurities especially HR, the HR team was a joke..they were not personable at all; kept their door closed on many occasions while in office. They were not approachable & many employees did not feel comfortable speaking with them and thus on many occasions came to me in return with all their HR issues. There were days I would walk in & staff were crying and would confide in me about the stress, disrespect and toxicness of the environment and management. There were times you'd be micromanaged. It was a circus. They promote based upon who they like and biased relationships. Has nothing to do with experience and skill level. Save yourself...within 3 months the people who started around the time I started also left in under 6 months. It's one thing to profess certain core values within a company like how they're so inclusive, but when the day to day doesn't reflect such eventually the truth comes out.

Pros

Great culture. Solid pay. Remote options. Really great teammates.

Cons

Lack of clarity around Tovala's overall goal of making a sale or going public. This is minor, though.

Pros

Great work/life balance. Able to work remote. The supervisors and managers are all extremely helpful and will not let you drown. Great PTO accrual. Easy to follow compliance and not mess up due to a great system. Great schedule.

Cons

Some customers may be a bit hard to work with, but that's almost any industry.
