Pros

Some of the best relationships that I have built have been at this company. There are incredibly talented, intelligent, and genuine people that work here. They will continually support you and provide relief to the daily painful grind that you are subjected to during your employment here.

Cons

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” I would liken it to 'the winter of despair.' If you are a sucker for punishment, constant criticism, paranoia, and enjoy tolerating toddler-like temper tantrums–than this company is a perfect fit for you. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

Pros

The clients are amazing people to work with every day

Cons

The CEO does NOT practice what he preaches. He thinks he knows what A players want but he doesn’t do anything he tells others to do. He is fake publicly. He pretends to be one person outwardly and I will admit, he is convincing, but he talks poorly about all his current and former employees and clients constantly. He makes inappropriate comments on team meetings and fires people with no notice or real reasons, I watched this happen countless times. He will run people’s name through the mud if you “cross” him or simply do something he doesn’t agree with. I watched him fire multiple pregnant women and multiple woman going through a divorce (while making comments about how unstable they are) while simultaneously talking publicly about how much he supports women. He teaches you how to implement an operating system but doesn’t actually follow his own teaching internally. He has zero loyalty to anyone but himself (not even his wife Cadey who he constantly belittled publicly on team calls). He also was strangely obsessed with his operator and made comments about her looks publicly, clearly making her uncomfortable. I remember one employee he offered to pay to get her breast implants removed. He was constantly crossing boundaries and strongly encouraging his team to try psychedelics. He talks often about autonomy in the work place and accountability but refuses to be held accountable himself. Run far far away!
