Cons

As an experienced professional in the IT industry, I approached my tenure at SugarShot with cautious optimism. I can confidently assert that my experience fell far short of expectations. Culture and Environment: The company culture at SugarShot is toxic at best. From the top-down, there's a palpable sense of disorganization and disengagement. Colleagues engage in backstabbing and gossip, eroding trust and making collaboration nearly impossible. Morale is consistently low, with a pervasive feeling of dissatisfaction lingering in the air. Work-Life Balance: Forget about achieving any semblance of work-life balance here. Expectations are unrealistic, with management showing little regard for employees' personal time. Overtime is not just encouraged but practically mandatory, leading to burnout and resentment among staff. Career Growth Opportunities: If you're hoping to advance your career or develop new skills, you're better off looking elsewhere. SugarShot lacks any meaningful support for professional development, leaving employees feeling stagnant and unfulfilled in their roles. Compensation and Benefits: Don't expect to be fairly compensated for your efforts. Salaries are subpar, and benefits packages are lackluster at best. It's challenging to justify remaining with the company long-term when there are better-paying opportunities elsewhere. Management: Management at SugarShot leaves much to be desired. Leadership is often absent or ineffective, leading to confusion and frustration among staff. Micromanagement is rampant, stifling creativity and innovation. In summary, working for SugarShot is a recipe for professional stagnation and personal frustration. From its toxic culture to its lack of support for employee growth, there are few redeeming qualities to be found. Proceed with caution, and consider your long-term career goals before accepting a position here.

Pros

Very few, if any. Some of the coworkers were nice, although the good ones all end up leaving pretty quickly.

Cons

Wages - consistently below market average Work/Life balance - this is one of those companies that wants you to feel "like a family". In other words, they want you to sacrifice your own time for them, without being compensated. Skillset - The general technical knowledge of the staff is dated. There were many struggles with newer tech (Azure, AWS, AVD, etc). Culture/Inclusion/Diversity - If you don't think like them, act like them, and talk like them - you won't be accepted. It's a tight knit close minded group of individuals. They 'made' their employees all do 5 star reviews on GlassDoor, so most of the reviews aren't even accurate representations of what it's like.
