Great people and perks overshadowed by toxic and ineffective leadership
Pros
The People - Kind & Friendly - Harworking - Collaborative - Approachable The Company - Fast-growing - Gives incentives to work towards (i.e. bonuses and promotions) - Interesting product & mission of helping restaurants - Innovative cross-departmental opportunities (if you don't mind lack of structure) Perks & Benefits - Free lunch & snacks - Great health insurance - Unlimited PTO & Great Parental Leave - Dog friendly office
Cons
Leadership - Disorganized, Impulsive, Inexperienced - Not the best at communication - Clear favoritism of particular employees or family members - Often creates an air of anxiety; no one feels safe in their position - Creates an atmosphere where you cannot disagree with leaders at all. You will see senior leaders tell executives they love a change and agree, but in meetings they will say otherwise. - Friends, family, & favorites get promoted; other employees are expected to do more without recognition or raises. Company - Toxic - Multiple restructures, firings, and team dissolutions without a clear reason why - Zero structure or organization - Working there is like running at a dead sprint every day - Expect to work longer than 8 hours a day & some weekends - Told you're like family, but no one should treat their family like this??? - Sexism & Nepotism - The mission was to help restaurants, but it didn't feel like the core mission at the end.
