Pros

Pay is decent if you slack off enough but I valued my market too much to do what the others do.

Cons

My time at Odeko was deeply disappointing, and I would not recommend the company to prospective employees. While the mission is presented as people-first and community-driven, the internal reality does not reflect those values. Leadership frequently lacks transparency, accountability, and consistent communication. Expectations are often unclear or shifting, yet employees are still held responsible for outcomes that are outside of their control. There is a strong disconnect between upper management and the realities of the field. Feedback from frontline employees is rarely acted upon, and concerns about operations, client relationships, or internal processes are routinely dismissed rather than addressed. This creates an environment where problems persist, morale declines, and burnout becomes common. Career growth and development are frequently promised but inconsistently delivered. Advancement opportunities feel arbitrary, and recognition is often tied more to optics than actual performance or impact. Compensation, incentives, and commissions lack clarity, which fosters frustration and distrust. The culture can feel transactional rather than supportive. Despite heavy workloads and high expectations, employees are not given the tools, authority, or support needed to succeed. When issues arise, blame tends to travel downward instead of being addressed at the leadership level. Ultimately, Odeko struggles with alignment between its branding and its internal practices. Until leadership prioritizes transparency, listens to its employees, and creates sustainable systems instead of reactive ones, I would strongly caution others against working here

Pros

Lower level and connections I made outside the company were phenomenal people.

Cons

Odeko is incredibly unorganized. The company went through several layoffs and organization restructurings during my two years of employment. Upper level employees seem to be incredibly inexperienced in actual team connection and leadership and made empty promises of growth opportunities. I was often unclear on some stakeholders actual jobs and daily responsibilities. Steer clear if you are looking for a job that will value your work or values transparency, be prepared for overuse of jargon and dancing around actual issues or goals. I was put on a retaliatory PIP after sharing that I was expecting my second child, and was fired a few months later at 37 weeks without being permitted to carry the PIP to its end date. Clearly they were intending on eliminating me far before they actually did and were fearful they would have to pay maternity leave.
