Pros

The employees are some of the best people in the world.

Cons

Ryan expects his employees to dedicate their entire lives to the company. Everyone is expected to be available to him personally 24 hours a day. He promises the world to his employees and potential employees but doesn’t ever intend to give anything. At one point he told everyone that he expects them to have no life other then Filevine if they can’t do that then they need to get out. It only are the employees expected to work hard for the company but for Ryan personally. If he needs his laundry done or his car washed he will force an employee to do it. In every meeting with management he discusses who needs to be fired. He won’t have any rhyme or reason for it. He just enjoys the power. There is no warning before loosing your job. You can be getting praised one day and out of a job the next. With some employees they’ll offer severance but that is only so they won’t have to pay unemployment. Constantly looking for people to replace current employees. Don’t let them flash money at you to get you hooked. You are better finding a job elsewhere that had security behind it. I had multiple friends that Ryan had told they were going to be safe in their jobs for years to come who started buying houses when They were suddenly fired for reasons as silly as missing one call from him at 10:00 at night or wearing the wrong color pants to work (even though there is no dress code)

Pros

Good people on the team and the ability to earn money quickly

Cons

The culture felt extremely toxic, with leadership often creating an environment driven by fear, favoritism, and constant pressure rather than support and development. Leadership and executives are in it only for themselves. Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were regularly expected to work holidays, often staying until 10 or 11 PM with little appreciation or recognition for the sacrifice. Long hours became the expectation rather than the exception. I was also disappointed by how customers were treated. There was often a significant disconnect between what was promised and what was actually delivered, and many decisions seemed focused on short-term gains instead of creating a positive customer experience. Behind the scenes, there were practices and conversations that made me uncomfortable and did not align with the level of transparency and professionalism I would expect from a company. The turnover was high, morale was low, and many employees seemed burned out. While there are some good people working there, the overall environment made it difficult to feel valued or optimistic about the future.
