Pros
Years ago, the content fostered authentic and enriching conversations. Too bad the author/owner didn't read her own book.
Cons
The Fierce review posted 11/7/2017 titled, "Don't Do It," and all the other evaluations that warn you to stay away are accurate. Stay as far away from Fierce as you can! The latest self-attributed, Fierce CEO posting in reply to another negative review of this disheveled company is as disingenuous as all of the others. Per usual, platitudes about great chocolate, massages, pet adoptions and fun social times somehow passes as a substantive response to very serious allegations. A competent leader would take the opportunity to address feedback but instead, this CEO again tries to convince the public that everything is fine. One difference between the Captain of the Titanic and Fierce's CEO is that Capt. Smith accidentally ran into the iceberg once and this CEO seems to love backing up and hitting it over and over again, all the while talking about how everyone onboard loves the music and the food. The current CEO states that no one’s termination from Fierce comes as a surprise. Oh really? In the first pages of the new book, "Life Incorporated," Fierce's former CEO talks about the devastating surprise of her mother (Fierce's current CEO) stepping into the company and kicking her out effective immediately. If the current CEO was able to fire her own daughter as a surprise, imagine the lack of care shown ‘lesser’ ranked employees. As the current CEO of Fierce loves to say, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.” I urge anyone considering working with or for this broken organization to believe the criticism. Outrageous sales quotas work only to line the deep pockets of the owner and her family. Gossip and backbiting abound. Behind the façade of a culture designed to enrich relationships, you will find arrogance, fear, dishonesty and greed. I didn’t just leave this organization – I ran for the door, and employees and customers should do the same.
