      Pros

      Great culture and lots of opportunities. I've been able to develop personally and professionally in more ways than I would have anticipated when I first joined the company. I am constantly being pushed beyond my comfort zone to learn and develop. The CEO and executive team care deeply about their employees and their clients.

      Cons

      It can feel like there are a lot of changes, but nothing more than a typical start-up.

      Pros

      None. I was required to put a star but wish to rate this company with Zero stars.

      Cons

      Terrible place to work. Toxic management evidenced by high turnover. Low salary grades meant to capitalize on women with few options.

      The "Uber" for Accounting and HR services

      Pros

      I joined a few months ago and originally to work for Scalus (workflow automation software) that powers BackOps. Recently we merged as one company because selling a solution -- both the service delivery as well as the platform to run a company's accounting and HR services was more strategic. There is a real opportunity here to grow the business and become the "Uber" for accounting and HR. I was initially attracted to the CEO's mission to bring a million moms (and dads) back to work by building a marketplace for a remote workforce and connecting them to start-ups and other SMBs. What I've seen is that the entire team at BackOps is passionate about their work and I am genuinely excited to come to work everyday.

      Cons

      As with most fast growing start-ups, there will be challenges executing. Budgets will be tight this year and expectations are super high. There is pressure to do a lot this year.

      Thanks for your thoughtful review, as well as sharing your concerns. You are right -- we have a big year in front of us. We are actively working on improving how the remote workforce works with HQ and are looking forward to sharing these changes with the team! So keep an eye out! Thanks again for your feedback.
