Great people, toxic environment - Anonymous employee Fevo Employee Review

Access to dedicated time with leadership is important to me. Even our highest level of leadership does a wonderful job of being available, making employees feeling heard and seen.

Professional development. Now, I know what you're thinking... get to profitability first : ) I hear you loud and clear - For the most part. Not all professional development has to come in the form of paying for courses, certifications, continued education, etc. We have a baked in 45 mins every Friday (Office Hours) that every once in a while we can bring in a guest speaker (and we don't have to pay the guest speaker). Often at the Yankees we would bring in guest speaker, and of course we would not pay them a dime haha. We would simply barter with them. Often times they'd do it for free tickets, for the ability to have a platform to promote a book of theirs, etc. I'm sure we'd be able to get tickets from one of our many partners to help entice a motivational speaker, or career developer. If we do ever consider this, I'd love to continue to provide input on what kind of speaker might be best to start. Sometimes when people hear "motivational speaker" they think of some person who's going to be loud, amped up, motivate you to wake up at 4am and crush life. While, a Tim Tebow-like halftime speech is great in my eyes, for a lot of people that kind of speaker might be a complete miss. Instead, if we ever did this, we should make sure we pick the guest speaker with a lot of intention. I have lots of thoughts on this kind of stuff, and would be happy to discuss further. Thank you!

I really value the trust that leadership places in its employees. From my experience at FEVO—especially recently—it’s clear that hard work is recognized and that the company is committed to retaining those who go above and beyond. I also love being part of a company that is growing so quickly; it’s rewarding to feel like you truly have a say in our future.

In my opinion, the two primary challenges at FEVO are maintaining a healthy work-life balance and the inherent uncertainty of a startup’s five-year trajectory. While that uncertainty is common in the startup world—especially for those of us coming from more traditional sports team roles—it can still be a source of apprehension. Regarding work-life balance, while it's largely driven by the demands of the sports and entertainment industry rather than FEVO itself, the difficulty in truly disconnecting remains one of the toughest aspects of the role.
