Skyrocket Reviews

Pros

Great group ... everyone doing their best to be their best.. Yes there are challenges - but this special group of people do what it takes to meet them.. and along the way - we have some fun!!

Cons

Expect long hours during peak seasons.... trying to perfect ideas takes time and countless changes...to make them right... you need a thick skin & a sense of humor!!

Pros

Talented, hard working people at the bottom of the pay scale.

Cons

It was just a mess. The disparity in income and work-life ridiculous. They hired really good talent, then fired them less than a year later on a whim. Projects were always late and they resisted any kind of strong scheduling or push. Having food in the office, cupcakes for birthdays, etc.. are not good enough to outweigh the bad. I think they'll sell or disband within the next year or two.

Pros

There were some nice, talented co-workers to commiserate with.

Cons

Upper management is constantly second-guessing their decisions, which is understandable considering their mind-boggling choices. You'll pay the price for their ineptitude as they continuously change course and inevitably blow past deadlines. Working 10-14+ hour days was the norm in my department. The environment is toxic and soul-crushing and the pay is low. I could go on and on, but trust me and the other legitimate reviews and avoid working here if you have other options.

Pros

Nice co-workers, available snacks. Not much else.

Cons

The CEO is very abrasive and is a micro manager. He doesn’t listen to anyone including his own management team. It’s no wonder they are slowly going out of business.

Pros

flexible working hours, half-day Fridays in slower season

Cons

too many cons unfortunately.. I’ve spent a few years at the company and during this time I’ve seen so many people hired and fired quickly after. The company lacks strategy, vision and the CEO is making everything worse. During covid they laid off more than half of the company, but it was not because of the current state of economy in the country, but because of extremely poor business decisions and crazy impulsiveness of the CEO. He doesn’t trust anyone but himself and will never listen to any opinion or idea that is not his own. He doesn’t even trust the other owner, nor any of other founders that have been there with him since the beginning. It’s a very unprofessional, unequal and toxic environment. If you have any other choice, DO NOT come work here. Their future is very questionable anyway. Also, most of the 5 star reviews are fake (everyone at the company knows) and the free snacks that are mentioned here so often, they are not that amazing..

Pros

Innovative, cool, great, whatever, and meh

Cons

not a very social atmosphere, unorganized, and they do not look out for their employees

Pros

Flexible Working Hours and Snacks Provided

Cons

So so many cons, CEO is a classic narcissist and a bully, this has to be the most unprofessionally ran company I have ever worked with. The 5 star reviews are all fake as he couldn't stand that the company was below 3 stars on Glass Door so he had people write fake 5 star reviews. Over the past two years they have hired people from good jobs only to either fire them or lay them off months later leaving the without a job. They just laid off 1/2 their work force and honestly it appears their future is questionable.

Pros

If you want to work for a company that puts your bonus in your bank account and then takes it out 5-days later, this place is for you! This company is rife with problems and that’s the reason they hire and fire as seen in past reviews. There is a lack of CEO focus, a lot of indecisiveness and zero trust in the team around him. The other owner who is not mentioned in reviews is terrible too, and if you work for him, good luck. Several years of consistent turnover under that guy and shuffling of accounts. Crazy reckless unnecessary decisions were made during covid that practically bankrupted the company and resulted in laying off 3/4 of staff 2 weeks before Christmas. The owners bought a mask company on a whim, smack dab in the middle of covid, with zero experience selling this type of product during a time they should have been fiscally conservative to try and preserve as much staff and dollars. If you care anything about your health, do not work at this company. They do not care about mask wearing or health and safety of employees. They pushed us to come back into the office without proper safety measures setup. If you are reading this review and have decided to go elsewhere, you’ve dodged a bullet. If you are reading this and are unemployed, staying unemployed longer and choosing to go somewhere else is the best bet. The only pro was how smart and great co-workers were, but they let everyone go.

Cons

See above for more details.

Pros

Not much to say about pros

Cons

Very toxic environment High turnover rates

Pros

They have a very well stocked kitchen, fridge, and snack area for all employees. Even a good selection of teas. A very nice component to the office.

Cons

EVERYTHING this company does is by the seat of its own pants. Always has been, and as long as the current founders are running the show, always will be. There is no vision. No forecasting. No market analysis. They restructure the company every few months because nobody has any idea how to run the company. I think the most simple way to put it is this: if you were to ask a question to all employees "is this company run well?" the ONLY people who may answer yes are: 1. the founders of the company 2. anyone with their own office because they get paid enough to hide their true feelings towards the company 3. anyone who knew one of the founders from the previous company they all worked at and came from so they've known each other for years and years and don't want to give an open/honest opinion. this "coincidentally" also aligns with several people who fall into category # 2... So so so so much work by every department is just thrown out the window because there is only one opinion that matters in the whole company and he (understandably) is not able to review the work in its infant stages. Often work is shown when it is completed, and then simply scrapped. And then deadlines aren't met. And then the company complains when everything is late. And then they laugh about it. And then do the same thing over, and over, and over again.
