Pros

Amazing core values, if the company could only keep true to them. The CEO has a good heart and he really does want this company to have a positive impact on people's lives. The product itself is does speak to that. Like any product, it has areas it can improve on, but it's a solid product and the team behind building it is incredible. Most employees work really hard and are really great people.

Cons

1. The culture is incredibly toxic. This company is at war with itself. I want to emphasize the difference between company core values and culture. The core values want to be great, but the internal culture is truly toxic. There are a lot of employees in operations that don't last much more than a year. If you are part of the favorite group, you have a chance of making it a little longer, but eventually most people will burn out. 2. I realize this sounds coo coo for coco puffs, but this is an emotionally abusive company. 3. Work life "harmony" doesn't exist. 4. Employees are not valued. 5. No matter how hard you work, how good you are at what you do, how well you communicate with leadership and/or clients, you will always be a failure. 6. Leadership has massive ego issues. 7. Leadership is hypocritical. 8. Clients, usually attorneys that know how to be mean, will almost always be escalated and Implementation Consultants are on the front line of that wrath. Rather than supporting staff and actually facing the issue, leadership throws a temp bandaid on and may just provide the client a credit. 9. S**t rolls downhill. I could go on, but the core issue is that culture is toxic. Buyer beware! Operation leadership has some significant core issues. They need to face their own failures before any change in culture will even begin to happen. There are certain levels of leadership that are egotistical and arrogant, and this means that a solution to the culture issues is not really within sight at this time. This company will implode if leadership doesn't make changes within themselves.

Pros

Good people on the team and the ability to earn money quickly

Cons

The culture felt extremely toxic, with leadership often creating an environment driven by fear, favoritism, and constant pressure rather than support and development. Leadership and executives are in it only for themselves. Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were regularly expected to work holidays, often staying until 10 or 11 PM with little appreciation or recognition for the sacrifice. Long hours became the expectation rather than the exception. I was also disappointed by how customers were treated. There was often a significant disconnect between what was promised and what was actually delivered, and many decisions seemed focused on short-term gains instead of creating a positive customer experience. Behind the scenes, there were practices and conversations that made me uncomfortable and did not align with the level of transparency and professionalism I would expect from a company. The turnover was high, morale was low, and many employees seemed burned out. While there are some good people working there, the overall environment made it difficult to feel valued or optimistic about the future.
