Pros

They haven't eliminated everything that we once held dear, but just give it some time.

Cons

Since the arrival of our new owners, things have gone downhill faster than anyone could have guessed. They have displayed no interest in keeping employees happy and instead focus entirely on making money. Most recently, we lost our holiday bonus. Shortly after being appointed as the new CEO, Jim Gieger and company then asked us to lobby on Liquid Webs behalf to lower/eliminate taxes on the company. We were provided with scripts and information on how to contact our local representatives. The company has also gone from hiring 10-20 people a month to hiring 3 people per 6 months.

Pros

Very talented coworkers who are doing their best in a difficult environment

Cons

Leadership lacks a clear understanding of the industry and does not seek input from subject matter experts internally. This results in poor strategic decisions and frequent reactive changes. There have been ongoing layoffs, with responsibilities continuously redistributed to remaining employees without appropriate support, training, or realistic expectations. This has created an unsustainable workload and a constant sense of instability. Employee input is consistently overlooked. Ideas, feedback, and proactive contributions are rarely acknowledged or acted on, which creates a culture where people feel undervalued and disengaged. Communication from leadership is often dismissive and, at times, disrespectful. Employees are not treated as partners in the business, and there is a noticeable lack of trust and transparency. Blame is frequently placed on teams when initiatives fall short, despite a lack of direction, resources, or proper onboarding into new responsibilities.
