Pros

There were absolutely no pros here sadly.

Cons

I’m honestly still very much traumatized from working here. They offer zero help claiming everyone is too busy to assist or train you. Then following this information they get upset when you make a mistake or something isn’t up to par with “their standards” which are not clear because they lack severe organizational skills. What traumatized me the most was the CEO blowing up my colleague and my phone after 11 p.m. on a weekday because she was stressed about now having information for a call at 4 am in the morning. For context, the call was about problems that had nothing to do with me and everything about the CEO that lacked understanding on how to use the software they hastily bought without knowing how to use any of it. It was chaotic. They do not respect your personal time. I told them many times I had an important appointment every week on the same day and time. Countless times this Was ignored and they would email and message and demand tasks during this one hour I asked to not be disturbed. I felt like I didn't matter and honestly, they made my self-esteem and depression worse. They literally claim in a comment posted here that if they don't push their employees they can't give their clients the best. I do not think clients would be happy knowing how the employees are treated for a product. You demean, disrespect and disregard people. It's disheartening as a women-owned company.

Since this is directed at me, as the CEO, I'd be happy to respond. I was covering for two colleagues on a 12am phone call with a company overseas since the project lead had a formal dinner that night. I asked three times during the workday to send me the agenda I'd need because you are correct, as backfill, I wouldn't have been able to have the call without it. Unfortunately, the notes were not sent by either teammate nor uploaded to our file system. While this oversight was quickly corrected with an email, overall this situation is an example of how we operate as a team to support each other and will help colleagues regardless of seniority. As for turnover, our rate is extremely low, largely because of this team-focused dynamic. I recognize you are upset, and I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that you are happy in.
