Pros
The company has a great vision and a very promising business model. It is driven by very talented individuals in many functions, and has some very hard-working people executing on that vision. Employees work together to execute tough tasks. There is great teamwork on display.
Cons
The workplace is becoming worryingly dysfunctional. Politics at the top has filtered down into the rest of the organization, leading to an unhappy work environment for many members of our team. Micromanagement is everywhere. Many leaders do not trust their employees to execute. Employees are often blamed when things don't go according to plan, and leaders seem unwilling to accept feedback. Benefits are not particularly good.
Pros
The team is motivated and engaged, thanks to your positive influence from the owner.
Cons
There were none I could think of.
Pros
I truly love Andrew and his spirit. At his core, he believes in doing good and being good. He's ultimately the reason why many people are still here.
Cons
Lyric was once a place where diversity flowed through the hallways and into the remote team members. Even then, being black at the company is painful. No matter how hard you work or how much you do you will not be promoted to management. They will hire over you each and every time. There is not one black person in a management or supervisor role. They only have two black employees in the office. However, almost all of the customer service people, who happen to be remote and not in the office, are black. The lowest paid and most undervalued individuals in the company. What's worse is they don't think they have a diversity problem. I think it's a shame to use a black person to launch a diversity and inclusion program only to pull her off and hand the project over to people who cannot relate to the topic at all. It looked good and attracted the black employees to participate but it was only for show. Unfortunately, this company is slowly becoming less of a place that I can brag about and more of place that brings me anxiety and sadness. This used to be a place I could recommend people to come and learn and grow and shift into a new career path. Now, I tell people it's good if you just need a job.
