Pros

Benefits and comp are ok. I did love working here for the first 3ish years of my tenure. The last 6 months has been a completely different saga. It’s felt as long as as the first 3 years and not in a good way.

Cons

Please don’t apply here!! I resigned and finish up next week and the people I feel the worst for are the newbies who are being brought in to this impossible environment. You’re hiring manager will likely quit not so long after you’re onboarded. I see people hiring others when they’re actively looking for work on LinkedIn. Attrition is out of control and they have no plan to fix it. Lost all direction. No cohesive front from SLT, with many previously prominent members no longer visible to the wider team. Confidence in CEO is gone or more likely was never there. Everything is at his discretion and his whim. He is reactive, unstrategic, inexperienced, and does not take counsel from those around him or trust that anyone else has skills that he doesn’t. The heart of the company has been ripped out. We are a shell, running on fumes. Culture is non-existent. CEO decides that to counteract this he wants to focus on on-site “team building” - way to read the room when you’re leading a company where most new hires are out of state and the rest of us want to be 100% remote. No planning, strategy or vision left. We had a clear guiding light before but is lacking now. Completely changed remit or workload for a lot of people after the layoffs with no acknowledgement of that or what that means. Same amount of work to be done with only a fraction of the people left behind. We are a contracting company. One of our proudest elements was that we were a fast growing company, not anymore. Unqualified people in authority after CEO decided “internal mobility” was the way to stop resignations and promoted half of the company. No incentive to stay for the others but those promoted people are still in their way out. It wasn’t enough. There is no career opportunity that I can see. They will not attract people you can learn from. A sinking ship that’s going full steam ahead, whether the crew is on board or not.

Thank you for the feedback. We recognize that so much has changed in the last year and we are actively listening to feedback and striving to make changes. Unfortunately, some changes cannot happen quickly enough. As many companies are, we're seeing a lot of attrition and we are sad to see employees go. As a Senior Leadership Team, we absolutely want to keep our top talent and are actively seeking recruitment support to backfill the people we lost. And we're having conversations with employees still at OppFi to understand, what's working, what's not, what our team members want to do to grow their careers. We’re really proud of the fact that we promoted a number of incredible team members and are committed to supporting them in being successful and navigating their career. We wish you the best in your next role. Michelle Y Bess, SVP, People

Pros

Previously good management (not current), good pay and benefits, nice office.

Cons

As others have stated on here the CISO is extremely abusive. We're talking yelling, intimidation, gossip and comments about individuals physical appearance. Other employees have mentioned having to go to therapy after working with her and having to start on anti-anxiety medications as a result of her behavior. At times I felt concerned for my own physical safety and the safety of others when around her (thank goodness for mostly remote work). When employees use the internal feedback system to voice their concerns they are fired shortly after - it is clearly being used as a way to identify dissenters within the InfoSec program and terminate them. Her grasp of the English language is tentative at best - which would be fine for an individual contributor but not someone who's main job is to communicate. On top of it all she is highly ineffective, often personally slowing down initiatives, micromanaging, sewing confusion and changing direction in non strategic ways.
