Pros
Overall the non managerial staff are friendly and nice
Cons
- The delusional CEO - Under-qualified, inexperienced leadership team who for the most part are maintained based on personal connection and run on forced hype. - Lack of a realistic company vision. The full explanation: The best way to describe SoleSavy is to compare it to the Titanic. They boast themselves as being the greatest of all time, something to be admired, a game changer. However... There are some hardworking employees in the basement doing their best to keep the engine running while the leaders drink their proverbial tea in first class, sitting around convincing themselves "this ship is unsinkable!" But we all know how it ended for the Titanic when it is all talk and no preparation. At the head of this first class table is the CEO, a man whose work history largely consists of solo entrepreneurial ventures, thereby, making him completely tone deaf to the nitty gritty ins and outs of the regular staff employees, and the gap in knowledge is embarrassingly apparent. Most team meetings consist of being reminded yet again, that he is the CEO, as if we could ever forget, and we are forced to be scolded like children, for not complying with his demand that we post fake reviews for the app, while he "had to leave his wife and kid behind" to travel somewhere to, you know, do his job. Why exactly we need to be forced and guilted into posting fake reviews, or be further guilt tripped about him having to travel without his family to do his job as CEO to keep the company barely afloat, is beyond the understanding of us lowly employees. And if the culture was not already toxic enough, they also got rid of any chance of reprieve for us since wiping away the entire HR team, along with managers who actually spoke up against the grain to bring some common sense back into the company. Unfortunately the job market is not great right now which makes changing companies difficult, and being an old school sneakerhead I want to believe in the vision I was sold on when I first joined, but things are not looking great for us here in coach. I have no doubt that if there ever was a need for a rescue mission, they only have enough life rafts for the select few elites, with the CEO throwing on the first life vest.
