Pros

Like a previous review, the pros I am sharing are regarding the "old" Zonar. - Great company culture (work-life balance was emphasized and everyone embraced established traditions like Cinco De Mayo and Thanksgiving) - Positive and supportive work environment - Good technology (started to lag behind, but the idea of the services and products offered were still great)

Cons

New ownership and management came in and has basically torn down the foundation of what made Zonar a great company to work for. Many rounds of layoffs, including a "sudden" one in February that reduced the staff by about 150 (but then turning around to hire for similar positions in Latin America despite their claims the jobs will remain in the US to support existing long-term customers). Management is a joke and acts like a group of bros trying to be taken seriously led by a CEO who chooses to pick public arguments when he is called out on something. The HR team is clueless and basically just acts upon what the CEO says and freezes in the moment when they're asked a question. Lower level management are basically chickens with their heads cut off trying to meet demands of their managers for information and are causing their teams repetitive work filling out spreadsheets and responding to emails for the same information (information that already exists within the system). Customers are made to believe that things are great despite their technology having fallen behind their competitors in the last few years.

Pros

Love the Energy Work Remote Reorg is painful, but future is bright

Cons

Work Remote. Its a plus and a negative as it is sometimes hard to build camaraderie.

Pros

I work on a small team, I know everyone in my site. The work is very low stress, when I leave at the end of the day I can leave it all behind me. They were very supportive when I had a major medical event last year and needed 6 weeks off on about two weeks notice.

Cons

Much of the company acts like those who work in the warehouse don't exist. Things are very focused on sales agents and the folks who work out of HQ. The company is also very pro-AI which doesn't align with my values.
