Where to even begin… There is no work/life balance. The office environment is stressful, toxic, and hostile. Since zagg was purchased by a PE firm, nearly all of the executives have left, including the former CEO who left with no notice. One of the owners gave himself the job almost 2 years ago and he immediately cut benefits. No more half day Friday, no more travel credits for tenured employees and a big cut to the 401K match. The latest is a strict in office 5 days a week from 8-5 policy, unless of course you are an executive (most of them are completely remote). There is zero flexibility on this policy. You’ll have to use PTO for anything that will require you to leave the office between 8 and 5, even if you’ve met your 40 hours that week. They have no trust in the regular employees and believe if you are not in your chair in the office between 8 and 5, your job is not getting done. They will micromanage you to death. The HR department is a joke. They are not there for the employees, they are there only to push the owners agendas. If they have issues with select individuals, they will discipline the entire office rather than dealing with the people abusing the policies. Regular employees are not trusted, especially if you have been with the company for years. It feels they are targeting all the tenured employees and their goal is to force them all out. It has turned into a dictatorship and most employees here are completely miserable. It’s really unfortunate, this used to be such a great employer with amazing benefits and people. The PE firm destroyed the culture, turned so many of their employees lives upside down and now everyone spends all their time worrying about what’s coming next.
