High Turnover

Pros

Management loves to celebrate the holidays, so bring your craft scissors. Huge break-room is almost always empty, so you'll be able to eat lunch in peace.

Cons

Little to no training. Managers wander around asking, Did you sell anything today? Be wary; they don't like to fire employees - they want you gone, sure, but would rather change your role in the company or transfer you to another department; where they'll proceed to make your life miserable and hope you quit. The goal is to avoid paying your unemployment.

Pros

Good product. Great product development teams.

Cons

Mind reading expected. Zero communication. Training is non-existent. Systems are outdated and no one knows how to use them. Firing is first course of action should management not like an employee. High turnover. Management monitors when employees scan their key cards and come and go from the building. No trust. No work from home. Terrible benefits — raised out of pocket maximum from $500 to $2,000 half way through the year. 401K is a joke with next to no participation. Fear based company. No HR department. Zero processes or forms. No one knows who anyone is in the building because of high turnover and lack of people working together. Definitely on your own! No team.

Pros

Learned a lot and met a lot of great people in my time here.

Cons

- Not many benefits, 401(k) plus match was eliminated at the start of Covid and never brought back. The health insurance is okay. Vacation time is only 10 days and you only get a few days for sick time. - Pay could be better. Upper management won't reward you for hard work or offer a raise when they inevitably give you more work to do, and generally the answer is no. You'll have to fight for better pay. - There's no work-life balance if you're not a manager. WFH is not an option if you're a lower level employee, but if you're in a management position you can come in whenever you want and WFH as much as you need. - Complete lack of communication between employees and upper management. You'll barely be kept in the loop about changes within the company or about your work performance. The environment is very close-minded and hush. - Upper management can be very unprofessional and condescending. They change meetings last minute, miss meetings, make you wait for them, don't communicate properly, and play favorites if you can get along with them - Lack of respect for employees health and safety. I've already mentioned that WFH is not an option, but this company also only allowed us to WFH for 2 months during lockdown and masks were barely a requirement.
