Pros

Plenty of work and understanding about scheduling appointments

Cons

Lack of trust, obvious degree of micromanagement, lack of appropriateness from CEO, insertion of non upper-management personnel into upper-management situations, blatant disregard of medical conditions and inappropriate borderline illegal request of medical documentation, advantage taken of employees' lack of knowledge of system or of situation to gain control, manipulation and gaslighting.

Thank you for sharing your review, and I appreciate your approach of seeking understanding. To anyone reading this feedback, I encourage you to engage in open conversations with us to better comprehend your concerns, as we are committed to addressing them. It's important to clarify that while we do require medical documentation in specific circumstances, this is not the default approach. This practice aims to ensure that employees' medical requirements are respected and appropriately accommodated. Your advice regarding learning from past experiences is valuable. Since your tenure with us beginning in September 2020, we underwent a significant transition towards remote work. This shift posed challenges for us, as it did for many companies new to remote work dynamics. We acknowledge that some initial solutions might have leaned toward micromanagement, but we genuinely listened to our employees' needs and adapted accordingly. Over the years, we've gained insights into accommodating diverse work modes. We recognize that individuals vary in their preferences for management levels, and we strive to strike a harmonious balance. Our ongoing efforts focus on refining this balance and continually improving in this aspect.

Pros

I was able to join through a temp agency and quickly advance toward my aptitudes and interests, to my current position as manager of a team. I was given opportunities to show what I could bring and deploy those towards significant career advancement.

Cons

While much better now working mostly from home, the 16th street mall doesn't have great parking, and can have long commutes, particularly when baseball games or other events are going on
