Pros
Working with nice people (mostly).
Cons
Absolutely no appreciation for good and hard work. For several years here, I got 3% raise in TOTAL, well below the inflation interest rate. So, now I have a much heavier workload for less (factual) pay. In 2018, we reached and passed the set goals for August enrollments and got ZERO bonuses!!! We had a “town hall” meeting soon after that and everyone was expecting some bonus, some financial token of appreciation. Zilch. I bet the executives did receive a nice bonus. Oh, btw, just after that amazing August results, 7 key people on the Filed Sales team got laid off. The talk is that the executives are getting their Christmas bonuses fattened. Very disheartening to see apparent greed in the bosses and zero appreciation in workers paychecks.
Advice to Management
Be quick to reward good workers as you are quick to fire the bad ones. Every time you get a bonus and your subordinates don’t, know that you are destroying the team spirit. One day your best people will say “enough is enough” and will leave you working with the lazy slackers. Wake up!

You can negotiate ridiculous pay as there’s no real basis for how employees are compensated.
Cons
Disorganization is at an all time high! HR doesn’t resolve simple people issues. Free Leadership Lesson
HR should not be the department everyone needs when things go wrong and the department who leaders don’t want to listen to until things are going wrong. But they’re weak and only invented with reactivity rather than proactively resolving some corporate issues. They don’t address concerns appropriately. They don’t set a standard for work ethic and they have no control in the company and it’s policies. Each dept and manager can essentially be rogue in their dealings and understanding. People are bullied into positions and they claim that the pace is changing and upbeat but a lot of this is unnecessary and self inflicted from management and disfunction. Poor leadership and unskilled leaders.Advice to Management
Retire and get people who know what they are hired to do and let them do it. LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE. Overhaul employee handbook or at least start to follow its policies and procedures across the board.

Pros
Could be Mission, if they weren't so money driven.
Cons
Lousy Culture....dog eat dog.
Founder will lie to get people in, and use them and throw them away....no loyalty, except for his pet.
Management by fear
Phony "good reviews" in social media...basically trolls.Advice to Management
You are no longer a start-up, so the chaoty and toxic culture you have is because of YOUR lack of leadership and turnstile approach you have to hire bright people, and not let them do their job.
