Pros

I think the only positive thing I gained from working here is some great coworkers who also no longer work there. We all share our trama from working for such a horrible company.

Cons

What can I say about working here. It was the worse experience of my life. I would leave from work everyday crying because of how bad it was. They overworked you and made you feel bad if you needed some time to off. I would leave from work to do more work from home because they did not want to hire more people. At one point I let my manager know that the amount of work I had to complete was physically impossible because I had to onboard new employees, complete payroll by 12pm and handle the office all alone and they just ignored me. Not only was upper management useless but if you weren’t sleeping with one of them you were treated like horribly. I was not going to let my morals down to get ahead. Also, I was shamed for taking any days off they did not want me to use my PTO and when I asked to take some time off because I was going to lose days they told me that I wasn’t going to lose days I just wasn’t going to accumulate anymore PTO. I was thinking that these people must think I’m dumb. Also, they are very racist there. If you are Spanish they treat you like crap and I can say that from seeing it everyday. I can continue with the cons but I will leave it there.

Pros

There are some genuinely nice people here but that is the only real positive. Even they are slowly leaving because the culture has become too toxic to stay in.

Cons

Highly political culture with no real promotions. Leadership is insecure, ego driven, and more focused on protecting themselves than supporting employees. Micromanagement is constant, communication is poor, and priorities shift without explanation. Quiet layoffs happen with no transparency and usually protect the same small group. The new US marketing lead has made the culture even worse. He was difficult to work with before and has only become more problematic in a higher role. There is constant questioning, no clear vision, and nonstop steering that sends teams in circles. It is hard to understand how he keeps moving up the ladder despite repeated negative scores and consistent employee feedback. Independent analysis, including the Grizzly Research report, highlights similar issues such as unstable leadership, lack of direction, and a business that feels like it is declining. What the report describes matches what employees experience inside the company. Even if the CEO or HR choose to ignore these problems, they remain the reality employees deal with every day.
