Pros

I met and got the opportunity to work with so many talented, intelligent, and creative people while I worked there. I genuinely enjoyed the company of nearly all of my coworkers, which made leaving surprisingly difficult.

Cons

The culture that the company promotes to you in the interview process isn’t in any way genuine. My job could’ve been 100% remote, but working from home was heavily discouraged, and they looked for any reason not to pay you for that day if you did need to work remotely. They offer practically nothing for vacation time to new employees. The “Culture Club” that they love to promote is heavily crippled by the fact that management will do next to nothing to support the group. When I worked there, “Operation E” was virtually nonexistent, yet held a prominent spot on the company’s website. Nearly every one of my coworkers needed a second job because their salary was not enough to cover their expenses, but the owners seem to pay themselves handsomely. The list goes on. They decided at some point that it was important to “focus on culture,” but they don’t actually care about the culture, they just want to use it as a selling tool to promote themselves to clients and new employees.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re glad you found the team to be such a positive part of our company. We agree – we’re lucky in that regard. We did want to respond to a few of your other comments as we continue to work to improve: Vacation Time: We offer a competitive time-off policy where 2 weeks of combined vacation and sick leave are given the first year of employment. After one year, we offer 3 weeks of paid time off per year. And after five weeks, we offer 4 weeks. Support of Culture Club: We acknowledge it’s been more challenging to maintain our culture as we’ve grown to 35+ team members. Recently, our focus has been on improving the quality of our work, but comments like yours have us re-evaluating our Culture Club and talent development policies to make sure they have the autonomy and the support they need to shape our culture. Management does not dictate most decisions made by Culture Club intentionally as we believe it’s important for our culture to be shaped by the team from within. Remote Work: The COVID pandemic has really opened our eyes to the possibility of remote team members. Prior to COVID, we had two remote staff. Since COVID, we’ve mostly been working remotely and are set up very well to do so on a continued basis. We have never restricted pay for those wanting the flexibility to work from home. Operation E: We like to give back to the community through Operation E. With your comment, we looked back at the last few years, and here’s what we found. In 2018 we donated $76,599 in production as well as $10,670 more in monetary contributions to help charitable causes. In 2019 we donated $113,668 in production costs and more than $23,870 in monetary contributions.

Fast paced, friendly, and fun atmosphere. Incredibly talented people throughout the office from the AE's to HR.

Cons

Pay is dismal compared to industry standards with every job in the office, PTO is not comparable to standards. Extra work and responsibilities with no extra pay.

Pros

Coworkers for the most part were great! Professional, intelligent group.

Cons

Leadership was awful, the VP Team that the owners put in place is a joke. None of the leadership have their own accountability or know how to positively lead a team. The "culture" that they promote is all smoke and mirrors. The pay and benefits were terrible.
