I’d give zero stars if I could…

Pros

The salary is the only positive, but you’ll sacrifice your mental health and self worth for it. Zagg used to have amazing benefits and leadership, not anymore.

Cons

Where to even begin… There is no work/life balance. The office environment is stressful, toxic, and hostile. Since zagg was purchased by a PE firm, nearly all of the executives have left, including the former CEO who left with no notice. One of the owners gave himself the job almost 2 years ago and he immediately cut benefits. No more half day Friday, no more travel credits for tenured employees and a big cut to the 401K match. The latest is a strict in office 5 days a week from 8-5 policy, unless of course you are an executive (most of them are completely remote). There is zero flexibility on this policy. You’ll have to use PTO for anything that will require you to leave the office between 8 and 5, even if you’ve met your 40 hours that week. They have no trust in the regular employees and believe if you are not in your chair in the office between 8 and 5, your job is not getting done. They will micromanage you to death. The HR department is a joke. They are not there for the employees, they are there only to push the owners agendas. If they have issues with select individuals, they will discipline the entire office rather than dealing with the people abusing the policies. Regular employees are not trusted, especially if you have been with the company for years. It feels they are targeting all the tenured employees and their goal is to force them all out. It has turned into a dictatorship and most employees here are completely miserable. It’s really unfortunate, this used to be such a great employer with amazing benefits and people. The PE firm destroyed the culture, turned so many of their employees lives upside down and now everyone spends all their time worrying about what’s coming next. The reviews you see here in the last year are a true representation of what it’s like to work at zagg right now. Any positive reviews are either from recruiters, or franchise locations.

Pros

There are some great people.

Cons

Where to begin.... The working life at ZAGG is chaotic... The executives have zero trust for any employee, and are harsh in their response to that. Continuously they ask the most out of all employees who work extremely hard to be met with ridicule. At ZAGG, you are not a valued member but as a tool for them. The employees voices are not heard or cared about and slowly but surely everything that made ZAGG once great, has been stripped away because of a lack of trust and greed. ZAGG is a workplace where the employees are expected to make miracles happen... Not just one time a year but continuously. The lack of understanding from executives in each department is troublesome. They will ask for a lot more than these teams have resources for. If you specialize in a key area, then that's how you will be treated. No more and no less. This causes zero opportunity for growth because to them you are just a one dimensional resource. Salary employees are treated as if they are children and are incapable of making things happen if you are not seated right at your desk all day. Constantly, the feeling is that you are under a spotlight.

How the mediocre have fallen

Pros

Fair-ish salary, there are a few talented people left, the products are cool if you're into that.

Cons

The current CEO, who is also the owner, started making some serious changes in the last 6-9 months: forced the previous CEO out, slashed our benefits (worse healthcare, much lower 401k match, diminished PTO, no remote work, less flexibility, etc.). Not sure if the goal was to force attrition to avoid the optics of firing or to avoid paying severance, but it worked. The problem is that the ones who leave first are the best and most qualified since it's easier for them to find good gigs. We have been hemorrhaging talent, and when it's actually replaced, it's replaced with not great people. Even that is better than when they don't backfill and expect more from the current team. Unfortunately, I do expect this to continue, especially since they keep bringing in sub-par people. Mediocrity begets mediocrity. This wasn't a stellar company by any means before all this, but in comparison to what it is now, it sure looks like one in retrospect. Oh, and btw, Chris Ahern is no longer the CEO as this page says.
