Pros

The people are what make it tolerable. I’ve made some close friends here and we all work hard.

Cons

The CEO means well but is still learning how to run a company and there are growing pains. He is known for involving himself in low priority minutia. It doesn’t come across as though there is much thought into the future of the company. He has a reputation for being very temperamental to employees and clients. Clients have reported having arguments with him and several employees have at least one experience of him sending long winded messages or videos of criticism. The office is now remote which was an unplanned change but has added issues with communication and culture. There are a lot of activities being forced by upper management and it’s noticeable. Multiple employees are being over worked and nothing seems to happen when this is escalated.

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback about your experience at Noticed. As the CEO, knowing our strengths and weaknesses is crucial. The role is an important responsibility that requires consistent self-awareness, vulnerability, and an evolving mindset. I value honest feedback, and I take it with open arms as we're all learning regardless of the job title. We recently implemented new company values guided by all employees' feedback, and we defined a new future vision for the business. The Covid Pandemic affected many businesses, with many adapting to a new way of working. When the Covid lockdown happened, we didn’t furlough a single employee and provided financial support to employees' families that had been furloughed. We experienced the challenges of managing a remote company for the first time and the cultural changes that come with it. All the learnings and feedback we've experienced in the last two years have let us hire a seasoned leadership to support our team members' growth and development. This year, we have seen a significant improvement in the culture, employee retention, and overall happiness while operating as a remote business. We're now focusing on rolling out a management training program to help our managers grow to be the best leaders possible. The eCommerce industry experienced a major surge in demand in 2020/21. Unfortunately, this led to operational challenges that affected our ability to manage workload capacity. Since then, we have implemented a capacity management system to improve the decision-making for new hires to prevent team burnout, which has improved employee morale and happiness. Thank you for helping us improve. We wish you all the best for the future. Thank you again!

Pros

I've been at Noticed as a Retention Specialist and it's honestly been a fantastic experience. The benefits here are top-notch – they're always getting better, which really shows how much the company cares about us. What stands out is how we're always encouraged to improve and grow. There's a real sense of being part of something bigger. The atmosphere is collaborative, and you genuinely feel your voice matters. And, of course, the leadership team – Stacy, Adam and Micah– they're great people. They really understand what it means to lead with both heart and smarts. If you're looking for a place that values you and pushes you to be better, this is it. Highly recommend!

Cons

Fast growing company, need to hire extra people. Remote work can be challenging sometimes.

The people are all so nice and kind. Everyone wants you to succeed. Work life balance is respected and encouraged for the most part.

Cons

Leadership doesn’t always feel like they’re being 100% honest or transparent with company changes.
