First off, thank you for taking the time to review LoadUp. We appreciate your candid feedback about the company. To address your review I’ll start with the pros you’ve listed.
Pros: We’re proud to have a remote environment where our employees have the flexibility to live where they want while pursuing the career they want. I would argue that we provide an environment that does more than OK in gaining experience. We strive to foster an open environment where if you want to learn and take on more responsibilities you have the ability to do just that. I’d also like to highlight that we’re a growing company that provides newly elevated opportunities for career development within the organization.
Cons: We certainly don’t take feedback of this caliber lightly. If management has given the impression that favoritism is what gets you ahead then we’ve failed at clearly communicating expectations for how promotions are given. We are a results-oriented company, promotions go to the individuals who perform and embody our company's core values of Passion, Integrity, Innovation, Customer Centricity, Collaboration, & Entrepreneurial Spirit coupled with an assessment of the individuals' understanding of the role, wanting the role, & their capability to perform the role. This may look like favoritism, but I can assure you that we promote based on the aforementioned only. In regard to communication, without context to what you're specifically referring to, I can confirm there has been quite a bit of recent change in our organization. All healthy organizations have to change in order to grow. An unfortunate side effect to this is that some information can get lost in the mix as things shift. Noted and we’ll do better on this front moving forward as changes occur. Lastly, I would like to address your comment on being capped out on growth. This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. LoadUp has grown immensely year after year and landed on the inc 5000 list 3 years in a row. We’ve scaled the company from 15 employees in 2020 to right at 50 in 2022. Along the way, multiple people in our organization elevated their positions. Additionally, I can assure you that senior leadership is passionate and extremely driven to make this company successful for our employees and customers alike.
Again, thank you for your feedback and I hope this response addresses not only your concerns but also the concerns of potential candidates.
Sincerely,
Greg Workmon
