Pros

Flexible schedules: Compared to other companies, ZenBusiness has a flexible work setup, but the benefits it brings are mitigated by the countless cons the company has as well.

Cons

- Unhealthy work-life balance: Employees are constantly exhausted and have barely any time to attend to their personal lives because of brutal workloads, unrealistic deadlines, and management constantly disrespecting their boundaries. - Awful compensation: The salaries Zenbusiness pays employees don't reflect how heavy their workloads are or how much experience they have. There are barely any benefits as well, and all of them aren't that great. - Toxic leadership: The leadership is incredibly hostile and shows zero respect to everyone around them. Every decision they make is exclusively for their own benefit, and often comes at the expense of employees. They speak in an unprofessional manner towards everyone they talk to, and when things don't go their way, they insult and harass employees. - No room for growth: Regardless of how long you've been with the company or how consistently you perform at a high level, none of your hard work is ever going to be rewarded. Employees aren't provided with any opportunities to advance, given any room to grow, or rewarded with bonuses when they do well. - Controlling management: Management monitors your every move, tells you how to do your job, and constantly meddles with your work, which can make even the simplest tasks frustrating to accomplish.

Pros

Honestly, there weren't any I can think of

Cons

Management lies to their employees. What you're told during hiring doesn't match what actually happens. They are enthusiastic, especially about making big promises they don't intend to keep. The CEO comes off out of touch, and that attitude shows across the company. Pay is much lower than expected, even if you hit your numbers. You're pushed to sell things people don't' really need, which starts to feel unethical. Leadership decisions don't help and often make things worse. There's a lot of pressure, but not much to show for it. It turns into a pretty horrible experience where trust fades quickly. Another thing that gets frustrating is how the pay keeps shifting around. You can put in the effort, hit your targets, and still not see it reflected in your paycheck. It makes it hard to feel motivated when things don't add up. You start wondering why you're pushing so hard when the return isn't there. It just doesn't feel fair over time. And then there's the day to day environment. It wears you down more than you'd expect. People don't stick around long, and that says a lot. Wins barely get noticed, but mistakes get called out right away. You end up just trying to get through the day instead of actually growing or enjoying the work. Run as fast as you can, and tell all your friends too.
