      Too many negatives to waste my time typing

      3 Feb 2023 - Health and Life Administrator in Covington, LA
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None but if I had to choose one… Remote work sometimes offered

      Cons

      Over worked, underpaid, horrible work/life balance (and that’s pretty sad when your job is fully remote from home), extremely micromanaged (to the point that it affects the employee’s production numbers and accuracy bc we are interrupted constantly with random questions from managers to look back and describe what happened a week ago and why you had a file open for over 5 minutes… etc)

      Great company with a growing entrepreneurial focus.

      16 Nov 2022 - Sales 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The flexible work environment and support of colleagues is exceptional. Training and development is a growing focus and I’ve never felt like I’ve been “out on an island” by myself. Colleagues are ready to to assist. Great work / life balance.

      Cons

      If anything, the fact most colleagues are remote can sometimes be viewed as a negative. While communication as a whole through the organization is good, getting together in person a bit more would improve communication.

      Great Culture- low pay

      30 Jul 2022 - Senior Account Manager in Covington, LA
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Low premium benefits, great wellness program

      Cons

      Promotions slim unless you know someone. Promote people outside of the department to supervise teams that they do not know anything about that type of business. Training is not good and it is learn as you go because everyone is trying to keep up with the workload. Too much work for one person to handle but they do not care. They will continue to inquire why are things behind when the person is struggling to stay afloat.

      Amazing Company that Really Cares

      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing Work/Life Balance with a positive workplace atmosphere. This company does not just advertise that they care about the employees they actually live this everyday. They believe that family is the most important thing and allow you to work a flex schedule or remotely if need be. They also offer free wellness courses from yoga and meditation to financial wellbeing. This organization is truly a pleasure to work at and the people are great to work with!

      Cons

      No cons at all and absolute amazing place to work!
