Decide Reviews

-The culture is the big problem. No one of decent quality or experience wants to work here. Writing a GlassDoor review to specifically call out other posts and be demeaning is a great example of the pettiness of the culture. This is clearly from an OG employee (very few left) who has significant dollars on the line so anyone new would be late to this game. You will get pennies to the dollar. -Apparently numerous reviews stating this falls on deaf ears and just gets defended right away. Throwing more money doesn't buy happiness. We are always told to flag any negative reviews...is that not ridiculous as well? -"Some" put in 70 hours per week and "the rumors are true...people that work really hard". Read between the lines here. The really hard part is not a choice like you would be led to believe since you are micromanaged and forced to in order to meet the impossible demands. Also, working really hard seems to be combined with working a lot of hours which couldn't be farther from the truth. People just learn how to covertly screw around and drag things out to prevent more being piled on their endless plate. -Fully admit to working in the evenings/weekends saying we "can" physically leaving the office doesn't mean anything...read between the lines again. Thanks for not "forcing" us to stay. -The turnover is egregious. I'm not sure how that isn't the most telling statistic of all? Again, unless you are part of an original group. -Increasing pay by $18,000 doesn't mean a whole lot when starting pay was bottom of the barrel since you need to "prove yourself" in their words (or just not have to pay you much). They realized that strategy wasn't working anymore when word got out and put us from above poverty level to making enough to pay rent. The pay itself is low and even lower when I did the math to "per hour"...you know since are forced to work "really hard". (isn't that just so cool and trendy to work really hard?) But hey they unlock the front doors and lift the bars off the windows so we can leave early now if we want to technically speaking (but don't ACTUALLY leave or you will be judged and talked about) and then hop on the computer at home! How awesome is that!?! -Admitting to working "really hard" is claimed to be some badge of honor that means something except you realize it's a waste of your time, sanity, and your health (oh, thanks for the gym membership no one has time for). Look around and there is a reason why most are very young and haven't been there long. There of course is word play to try to justify this, but the facts speak for themselves. Also, know that whenever you inevitably leave everyone makes fun of you for not being tough enough to handle it (how messed up is that?), only to find out a week later the person to the left and right of you left as well. -"There's some negativity in the office"....for a leader to even openly admit this means it is far worse than just SOME. Everyone comes in, gets their experience, realizes this place is a joke, and then gets the hell out. -Apparently working people to death whether it be hours and/or unneeded stress is seen as "under-performing" when you can't handle it and you are kicked to the curb. What backwards world is this? -Unlimited PTO is a joke when you feel like you can never take off running on the hamster wheel. Holidays? Rarely and even then people come in. There is an unspoken culture of work yourself to death or you aren't good enough. -Be savvy enough to read between the lines of not what some are saying, but rather what they AREN'T saying or are stepping around saying.

- Terrible pay. Compared to the hours it equaled out to slave labor - Cult mentality. You spend 12 hours a day at the office, you start to get Stockholm syndrome. The littlest accomplishment, and everyone cheers. When a negative review is posted, everyone is encouraged to go flag it and call it fake. - Accomplishments and growth were minor and often misrepresented. - No insight into the business or direction. Leadership is aloof and disconnected. - The company maintains the same name but changes what it does every year and a half.
