Over worked and under paid!

Pros

Rewarding work to be of assistance to franchisees. It feels great to build those relationships

Cons

The workload is absolutely too much for anyone. They expect 120%, hope for 100% and will be disappointed with 98%. The compensation is a joke. They will pay you as little as they can possibly get away with and try to convince you that you are so lucky. Job descriptions are vague and leave gaps where things don't get done because no one knew who was supposed to do it. High turnover Speaks for itself.

I Do Not Recommend

Pros

Truly nothing. The company is not one I can recommend in good faith to anyone.

Cons

Turnover is atrocious. The environment of distrust extends not only to employees, but franchisees as well. This has created a bitterness that undercuts all the prospective growth the company should be attaining. If you are looking for a career, keep looking. Basecamp is not the company which will provide you a long-term opportunity.

I'm sorry that your experience here at BaseCamp was negative; clearly we have work to do. I'm committed to building a culture that fosters learning and growth for the members of our BaseCamp team, and we're making progress. Counter to your comment, I'm proud of the average tenure we're seeing, especially given a perceived change in the modern workplace where team members move around more frequently than they did two decades ago. For anyone out there reading this, I would invite you to talk to the people that work here today and see if they believe that BaseCamp is truly a 1 star company. I think you'll find that the overall employee satisfaction is different than this review suggests. -Scott Sloan, CEO

Pros

They were willing to be very flexible with a school schedule and then later with working remotely when I had a family emergency. My manager was doing the jobs of 5 people and still found time to coach me and advocate for me and my work.

Cons

I was overworked and taken advantage of while being underpaid. There is a lot of tension between managers and executives with a lot of miscommunication. On multiple occasions, I was stuck between managers and executives and their inability to come to a solution. There was little transparency and A LOT of drama. The negativity in my department was unbearable.

COVID has created challenges for many businesses, including ours. I hope you can understand that the decision to say goodbye to some members of our team at the end of March was extremely difficult. It comes as a surprise to hear about how dissatisfied you were here at BaseCamp and that our internal employee review process didn't work as intended and provide you a forum and opportunity to express those frustrations. Employee satisfaction is very important to us and I'm disappointed that we weren't able to address them prior to your departure. In my experience we have responded positively to similar complaints and adjusted accordingly when given the chance. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely -Scott Sloan, CEO
