Messy Clubhouse of a Workplace

Pros

casual and comfy attire is welcome, great place for people with no work life balance.

Cons

All managers and upper management are men; there are three women in this office as a whole. Women are routinely undervalued, excluded, and left without much agency. Very few paths for growth unless you can be buddies with the important folks. Harassment is not uncommon and usually perpetrated by people in management as soon as they feel comfortable with you. The VP has often expressed that HR is a hindrance to him, and especially on business trips he loves to point out when HR is not present. The racial diversity leaves much to be desired as well. Any experience or point of view from anyone who isn't a man is disregarded. The company is very understaffed leaving employees to do the jobs of multiple people with no relief in sight. Many empty promises made. Management is inept, inconsistent, and embarrassingly out of touch. So many projects are left incomplete such as any budget or really any financial planning. A project one day is completely different the next on a whim, leaving everyone to catch up to try to make things happen. Processes and structures such as goal planning and meetings are subject to change every quarter. Decisions are only made behind closed doors by men in shorts trying to see who can speak the loudest. This place is a mess that needs improvement in every conceivable way.

Company is having negative reviews taken down

Pros

Coworkers are great (higher ups excluded)

Cons

Too many to name. Do not believe the 4.8 rating on Glassdoor. Employees were STRONGLY encouraged to leave positive (false) reviews. Company is working hard to have negative reviews removed.

Do Not Work Here

Pros

None. Terrible Leadership. No Direction. Decent Snacks. HIGH turnover rate. Not supportive of WGA and SAG strike.

Cons

Do not waste your time here. They will underpay you. They will have you work weekends and claim to give you extra PTO days, yet you will not have time to use them. Not a hybrid work environment. Full-time in person. There is no room for growth; they've cut training programs and promotion opportunities. No women in leadership positions, no managers or executives. No HR.
