Pros
I genuinely love most people I work with. They are good people. The company mission is something I believe in and the potential for the company to make a positive impact on the world is still there
Cons
Toxic environment due to inexperienced leadership, rampant nepotism, and a toxic "boys club" mentality reminiscent of high school. Top-performing reps' unethical and mean girl behavior is overlooked, while high performers are underpaid. Financial resources are squandered without meaningful returns. The recent transition to a 5-day work week isn't the core issue; it's the result of a poorly executed rollout, demonstrating a lack of consideration for the employees it impacts. The CEO though appearing caring, is out of touch due to the company's growth. He relies on senior leadership for updates, but it's apparent they aren't keeping him informed. This secrecy serves to shield their incompetence and unethical behavior. This disconnect has workplace problems, fostering a culture of frustration and demoralization. The urgent need for transparency, accountability, and a culture shift within Awardco is more than obvious
