Pros

Ignoring management, the employees you work with on a daily basis are enjoyable.

Cons

Management does not care about employees and makes that known. CEO is out of touch with reality and what employees actually think. Essentially anything he wants happens regardless of input from other employees. In office requirement allows no flexibility. CEO gets weekly attendance to ensure you came in or had an excused absence like we are back in HS. Management is so out of touch, they thought it was a good idea to lay off 17 people on Monday due to "cost cutting" and then throw a open bar happy hour for anyone that survived on Tuesday. Company does not have a vision for the future and just wants to do anything that might get some $ in the door, even if that means promising products that are currently not even possible with the platform.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I can certainly understand the frustration related to the people reorganization. These situations are extraordinarily difficult no matter the underlying reasons, and I am deeply sorry for every person and position at the company that was impacted. I sincerely thank you for your contribution to the company, and I am sorry that you had a negative experience. In regards to UPshow’s remote work policy, the company has and will continue to conduct formal surveys with the broader team seeking feedback about the desired split between remote and in-person/in-office work time. Based on that direct employee feedback is how we landed on the current policy - which provides the Chicago team living within 50 miles of the office the flexibility to work remotely 3 days per week and be in-person at the office 2 days per week. UPshow’s work plan allows the team to continue building relationships with one another. Having strong relationships at work means that the company can build a more meaningful culture and grow trust, appreciation and care for one another. Interacting and connecting with team members in this way is something we hoped that all employees will value, but again I apologize that this plan did not meet your satisfaction. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to survey the team to understand what type of work arrangements are optimal for productivity, team member collaboration and fostering continued growth of the company culture. I’m disappointed that we failed to do a good job at conveying the company’s mission and vision based on your feedback. I would welcome the opportunity to chat with you offline about instances where customer relationships and/or new product initiatives did not adhere to company ideals or support the company vision. UPshow highly values its vision and purpose, and we strive to communicate them to employees on a regular basis. UPshow’s technology helps brands achieve complete on-premise digital transformation. Our product offerings motivate customers/employees and inspire new behaviors that lead to superior operating results. Everything that UPshow does in terms of launching new products, offerings and features should have a strong impact on this vision. Based on your feedback we should always be open to honing and improving our discipline to match the company’s vision and purpose.
