Pros

Free Catered Lunch on Mondays Cool Office Space and Location Police Officer Customers are Great Travel Opportunities if that's your thing

Cons

The reality is that the company hired people on the false pretense that the C-Level executives at the helm have been successful in founding other companies. That's a lie. So beware of that sales pitch. The company then pressured their employees who were tricked to work for them to vote Flock as one of Atlanta's Best Places to Work, and then fired 25% of the staff within mere days after. One person that was fired had only been there for 3 weeks. One person had just gotten a promotion the day prior. On one team, they fired every single minority. On top of that restructuring, leadership has changed the job descriptions and roles of nearly every employee without them being part of that conversation. They have cut their pay. They expect their employees to fund the company's travel on their personal credit cards to the tunes of $1000s of dollars and be okay with being reimbursed 1 week later. They do not compensate according to industry standards (e.g. do not pay for sales leads). They changed the commission plan 3x within 3 months. Leaders micro-manage and babysit your every move, focusing on activity and not strategic results. But it doesn't really even matter because even your top employee can't do what they're asking for - to grow the company by 700% in 1 year! Quotas are numbers that are so impossible, they're like imaginary numbers. If you want to truly experience what a toxic work environment looks like, come join the Flock!!

Pros

I've grown more here in a shorter time than anywhere else I've worked, and I feel like I'm actually doing something that's making a difference. Not the right fit for everyone, but if you want to move fast, do meaningful work, and be rewarded for it, I haven't found a better place.

Cons

- No 401k match - Priorities shift quickly

Pros

Strong pay, remote, and that’s about it.

Cons

One of the most challenging work environments I’ve experienced in my career. Over two years, I consistently felt dismissed and without clear channels for resolution. When escalation was necessary, leadership was largely unavailable and unhelpful. New leadership was brought in without adequate knowledge of how the department functioned, and support during a major organizational transition was minimal. My 1:1s were frequently rushed, and when I raised questions or requested support, I was met with silence or redirected to priorities unrelated to my role. Performance metrics lacked transparency — when I asked how things were measured, I never received a clear answer. Promotions appeared to be driven by relationships rather than performance or ownership, and there was no visible path for upward mobility on my team. On the product side, customer-facing issues were significant. I regularly fielded escalated calls and emails from customers demanding contract terminations and refunds due to product failures and frustration with automated support systems. There were no real solutions provided, which damaged customer trust and created ongoing internal frustration. As a frontline employee, I also frequently had to navigate sensitive customer concerns around data privacy and public perception without adequate preparation or talking points from leadership. The overall culture was one of pressure without support and limited accountability at the leadership level. Ultimately, leaving was the right decision.
