Pros

Amazing co-workers that are dedicated to company success.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations for company success. 10x or 100x is delusional.

Although it is hard to read this, it is harder to see that we lost someone who has contributed to our success for over a year. We agree with you in that our co-workers are amazing, and it is in large part one of the main reasons for our success as a company. Expectations Even if Covid-19 was, by and large, not such a convenient situation for most businesses, it was an accelerator for the business we are in. The Velocity Global cloud-based Workforce Management platform enables companies to hire and pay employees in over 185 countries plus all 50 United States. For both SMB and Enterprise companies, this is a game changer. It has been because of these changes the company is experiencing 10x growth. It is predicted that the market will grow by up to 100x. Velocity Global is a beneficiary of this trend and we are well disposed to take full advantage of it as the market leader in our space. While it is arguable that our expectations may be unrealistic, what is not up for debate is the market potential for growth at 100x. California Directors The pursuit of excellence in execution occurs when we have the right people – those passionate about their work, engaged in the right activities. It is less about where a manager is from and more about what we, as a team, do to bring out the best in ourselves and each other. A focus on unselfish play coupled with having a humble disposition in a no-blame culture but more so a solutions-based culture are critical elements to our success. Our solutions-based culture, here at Velocity Global, is why our co-workers are so cool to work with. They drive our success! With all that said, we do want to thank you for your contribution while you were here. Please join our Alumni Group on LinkedIn. Even though things didn't work out, we still want to see you succeed and should you ever need assistance with your resume, interview tips, or an introduction to any of the contacts we have that could help you secure the job you want, please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know.

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
