Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

Leaders have absolutely no idea what they are doing CEO is clueless about how to run a company Spent money like water on a week of drinking and partying then weeks later did a mass layoff, then a few months later, another layoff, then months later another... It was the employees who felt the week of partying wasn't necessary and was saying we'd prefer an in person opportunity to work in teams, but the CEO, DP wanted a week of hype and clout so he wasted away money the company didn't have on partying. After the mass layoff, DP called a team meeting and proceeded to blame women's rights and gun control??? on the layoff. Not one word of self reflection or admitting any wrong doing on his end - just that it was women's right and gun control problems that was to blame hahaha, talk about being a joke.

Pros

The joy of working at SoleSavy starts with the people. I joined when it was a 10 person company and through all of the growth, one thing has remained the same: we hire high-character people who are driven by passion. The fast-paced/high-growth environment is perfect for those looking to grow with a company. Not often in our careers do we get to be part of something that is the first of its kind and SoleSavy is allowing me to do that in an industry I love.

Cons

Working from home comes with pros and cons and like many others, I am still trying to find the right routine. SoleSavy has provided me with the resources I need to continue to have a balanced WFH schedule.

As a growing company, we try to foster open communication and acknowledge the struggles that a company faces. With the current strategy planned for SoleSavy endeavors, we believe we are on the right track. At SoleSvy, we have built a leveling and growth program for our staff, and P&C is not only here to support changes and transitions. SoleSavy's P&C department supports employees throughout their tenure here and after.
