Pluspunten

My co-workers were friendly. Pretty laid back gig.

Minpunten

Where to begin. This company seems all roses and friendly at first, but that's because they are desperate for new workers. The pay is absolutely horrible. The benefits are a joke. I was paying about 75% of my health insurance premiums. They barely covered anything. You get 1.5 days of PTO each month which is nice. However, they will make you use it for everything. If you had a death in the family, good luck getting any compassion. If you're lucky, you'll get an "I'm sorry" but then followed by a "make sure you submit a time off request for your days off for grieving!" They are not transparent at all. When I began working there, they told me they will always be remote so it was fine to live anywhere as long as it was in Texas. Guess what happened next? They demanded their employees return to office once a month. Now once a month isn't bad. however it is so pointless, especially for those that don't live in Austin. Making $40,000 is not worth it when the company doesn't cover travel expenses for those that live in Dallas, or Houston, or even San Antonio. They think it'll boost production and collaboration but in reality it just creates more bitter workers. It wouldn't surprise me if it becomes once a week, then three days a week, then fully in-office again. They may tell you otherwise, but don't fall for it. Another lack of transparency comes from their once a month company meetings. The CEO, Tim, is always boasting about how they aren't laying anyone off, that things aren't too bad. What do you think happened a week later? A slew of employees were laid off. Guess how much paternity leave you get? TWO WEEKS. And that's only if you've been with the company at least a year. Had a near death birth experience? Gotta request PTO. Struggling with postpartum depression? Better request time off. Not with the company for a year yet? Get ready to only have 3 days of PTO for the birth. They brag about making it through the pandemic and the 2008 recession but they don't mention how the top leadership was the only ones to make it through those tough times. They don't mention all the layoffs that happened during those times. If you begin working here, start looking for new work the day you get hired. They're use to high turnover anyways. So don't feel bad when you leave after a week.

Pluspunten

Great teammates and supervisor, good hourly schedule

Minpunten

- CEO sets unrealistic goals and blames BDR's and lower tiered employees for failing when it's typically the fault of upper-management and unrealistic quotas to reach - Promised quick upwards movement and raises when starting, was never promoted and only got an insignificant raise a month before being laid off unexpectedly after not getting one for the previous two years -Holidays have been cut and bonuses are non-existent (replaced with a "President's Club" that only gives you a single day off the following month if you're lucky enough to be selected) - Managers boast use of AI tools to do the jobs that actual people in the company are supposed to be doing - Fought for unemployment benefits for two months after being laid off due to the company's inability to correspond timely with the workforce commission
