Pros

Location - Santa Barbara There are a few…key word few… good people who work at Zyris.

Cons

Leadership and Culture The CEO is a poor excuse for a leader, consistently demonstrating insecurity when faced with employees-especially women-who bring fresh ideas or challenge the status quo. She appears threatened by anyone whose suggestions might surpass her own, fostering an environment where innovation is discouraged and creative solutions are dismissed. This attitude not only stifles growth but also creates a toxic atmosphere for team members seeking to contribute meaningfully. Lack of Openness and True Engagement Although management frequently asks for employee input on company growth, it is clear that these requests are performative. Genuine feedback is ignored, and decisions are made unilaterally, undermining any sense of collaboration or trust. Employees quickly learn that their voices do not matter, which erodes morale and engagement. Innovation and Future Prospects The company lacks innovation and is not positioned for future growth. There is little willingness to adapt or embrace new ideas, leaving the organization stagnant and vulnerable in a rapidly changing market. This resistance to change and failure to nurture talent signals a bleak outlook for the company’s future.

Pros

The health benefits and the unlimited time off are amazing and definitely make all the other nonsense just background noise. They offer work from home which is also a very nice benefit that saves on gas.

Cons

Decisions on what we offer to our customers never seems to align with what they ask for. There is not much, if at all, growth opportunity. It feels like the company is stagnant and unsure how to move forward. Management team really needs to reevaluate themselves and their goals and make some tough decisions that may need to involve changes in leadership rather than letting go of non-leadership team members that do most of the work.
