Pros

It's a step up from retail work, I guess?

Cons

With Steven Kelly gone, many of us thought that we would finally see some positive change from the leadership side of things. Unfortunately, we were very wrong. Steve Hare has now shown his true colors, doubling down on blaming the employees and acting like his good old boys club isn't part of the problem at all. In our last company-wide meeting, when asked about our culture of fear and backstabbing, he presented us with a veiled threat that anyone criticizing management's decisions would be fired. This organization is 100% toxic, starting at the very top. Do not accept an offer here, this company is terrible.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
