Cons
Please let me be clear that this is a true and accurate review unlike several of the previous reviews on here that were untrue, written by management or management asked an employee to write it. I worked at Elevate for multiple years as a full-time employee but I am writing this review to warn future prospective employees, and to encourage you to really consider what you want from an employer before working here. The senior leadership at this agency is unprofessional, incompetent at times, gossips behind your back, doesn't work half as hard as the mid-level staffers and treats their employees terribly. As you can imagine this has a trickle down affect because it is a small agency. The COO is unprofessional and lazy, he acts like a class clown instead of a respected leader and he does more personal work than actual work in the office, while the CEO is a snake who expects the moon from everyone he works with yet he berates them, talks behind their backs and shows no appreciation for people who break their backs for him. The office environment as a whole is very unorganized and unprofessional as money is spent on unnecessary things instead of being given to the hard working mid and low-level employees, or being put into renovating the run down office. In the years I worked there only one person was promoted which is a huge slap in the face to everyone because there were at least 3-4 people who deserved promotions and they weren't given. Overall, no matter how hard you work and how much you care about your work/reputation you won't be promoted, you will be undervalued and unappreciated and there will be no loyalty or respect given by the people that run this place.
