Toxic on a good day

Pros

It's really hard to come up with pros. This company could be great if the CEO would take a step back.

Cons

The CEO is chaotic and often changes his mind mid-project which can create instability. He creates and fosters a toxic environment and often thrives on it. While the work can be dynamic and the team strong, leadership presents challenges. The environment can feel especially toxic at times, with favoritism toward a select group of leaders—often personal friends—while the broader team bears much of the workload.

Pros

- I was able to make lasting friendships with coworkers. - They are generous with promotions/raises for the most part. - Benefits are decent - The product has a lot of potential

Cons

- Very unprofessional work environment - Leadership changes their mind too much, so it's hard to finish projects - There is no formal training process - Too many unnecessary meetings make it hard to finish tasks - A lot of unfulfilled promises are made - Uses fear to try to motivate employees - Refuses to let other employees learn certain processes to lighten the workload on others - You will never be allowed to run your own calls with clients or potential clients

I wish I could say better...

Pros

I genuinely liked the people I worked with and grew lasting relationships with the majority.

Cons

I wish I could offer a more positive feedback but I would HIGHLY suggest staying away from this place if at all possible. The CEO considers himself the best of the best and it is “always the neighbor next door” — It is everyone else’s fault for any failed opportunities. Neurotic behavior, instilling fear as a form of motivation, micromanaging, changing direction as often one changes their socks, creates a VERY tense, frustrating, negative, choatic, and mentally depleting work environment. Room for growth is painted as a pretty picture, but it does not exist. The platform is very complex and one would think there would be a very organized onboarding training process for it but think again - that also does not exist. If you are favored over other colleagues, it is not uncommon to be persuaded into working 2-3 jobs with no perks for your hard efforts. I understand the job market is challenging at the moment, so if you do choose to work here, please mentally prepare yourself.
