      CEO cannot be trusted

      Pros

      A lot of very smart people who are trying to do their best

      Cons

      CEO Michael Carvin has been lying to people at the company, especially about compensation. Pretended he didn't know people were being underpaid relative to what they were promised. Tells people the company promotes from within but almost never does, and offers minimal raises along with promotions. Flexible vacation became limited time off and sick days. Pinching pennies is more important than taking care of employees. Trust has evaporated and half the company is looking for a new job. You've been warned

      Pros

      - Catered Lunches - Casual Dress Code - Friendly Co-workers

      Cons

      -Not a single team member earns the projected total comp that they were presented while interviewing -Currently, commissions for the sales team are not being paid out on time. Senior sales staff have commission payouts that are now months behind -There is a lack of transparency between top executives, middle management and the sales reps -The current compensation structure makes it seem impossible to get ahead -The company operates under a system where the CEO needs to check off on every little detail, making it seem impossible to get anything done -The company is heavily recruiting for sales reps even though it doesn’t have the infrastructure needed to support the team at its current size -While interviewing, you are promised great benefits like unlimited PTO. In December, the company announced that we actually never had unlimited PTO and that it was somehow a mistake even though many of the role descriptions on various job posting websites still include unlimited PTO as a benefit -No 401(k) match
