Pros

Working at Honor feels like a hybrid of doing innovative, fast paced startup work and on the ground social work. This is not a company where there are ping pong tables in the office and happy hours every evening. People who work here take the work seriously and find it very rewarding. Instead of "work hard, play hard" the motto here is more "work hard and go home." I find this incredibly refreshing in Silicon Valley where there is often more of an emphasis on perks and benefits than the actual mission of the company. Honor attracts very smart and diverse people who are personally invested in changing the face of home care. I'm proud to work here and really feel like the work I'm doing is making a difference.

Cons

There are high expectations for your quality of work at Honor and if you are not meeting those expectations, you may feel like you're constantly swimming upstream. This is the reality of a fast-paced company. There are a lot of org changes, our offices are cramped, and our leadership expects you to keep up. I wouldn't describe the culture as cut-throat, I would describe it as ambitious and forward-looking.

Honor Response

Honor is definitely a mission-based startup and we're really proud of the impact we're having on the industry and our local communities. It makes us really happy that you feel connected to the work you are doing to help so many people. We really value ownership at Honor, but we don't want that to come at the expense of getting the full support of the team or resources you need to succeed. We are currently investing time and thoughts into better training and communication so that people don't feel overwhelmed. Thank you for your advice, we're definitely taking it! We are trying to open up as many internal feedback channels as possible so that people feel heard and we can aggregate all the best ideas!

Pros

1. This company is okay if you are using this as a placeholder - meaning you work here until you can find something better. 2. Coworkers are nice. 3. Fast acting when needing to implement safety precautions for Covid-19. 4. Not necessarily hard work - just discouraging, never ending, unexciting work.

Cons

1. Nobody that I talk to is happy with their role (maybe the Regional managers and higher up). All the Client Managers, Market Assosiates, Recruiters, Implemetation Specials & Market Leads that I know, are miserable. 2.Poor Leadership - there are a couple of hard working Gerenal Managers. But overall several roles are filled by people who have just been working for the company for a long time. Not necessarily people who are qualified. Ever heard of Peter Principle?... look it up, Honor is the epitome. 3. To piggy back off of #2 - There are no real metrics to judge your performance. The ones that they came up with (within the last month or two) are subjective and ultimatley depend on what your manager thinks. So if you want a promotion, you better be playing the politics. 4. Management and Leadership will not take advice or criticism seriously. They encourage everyone to share their ideas and concerns, but then they will just continue with same old processes. 5. They love to paint this picture: "look at all the good work we are doing for the elderly and for the caregivers". But in reality, Honor is just a large staffing agency. I'm not sure why they think they are providing any better care than a smaller mom and pop company. 6. Has the mindset of "throw everything at the wall, and hope something sticks". They never think through processes that could actually make the company more efficient. 7. No training for client managers - there is a brief training period where you learn how to navigate the admin tools, but nothing after that point. You're forced to go up to people and ask them if they are okay with you shadowing them. 8. You will sit through countless meetings where they discuss nothing of importance. One time, we had a meeting to address an issue- during that meeting they informed us that they were going to have another meeting to find the solutions. True story. 9. No growth opportunities, very few internal role opportunities, no way of expanding in your current role. Basically the role and tasks you hired to do, are the only roles and tasks you will ever do. No special projects, no learning anything new, nada. They also don't have direct career paths in place- for example - if I want to move up, they'd need to create a whole new role for me or I'd need to transfer to a different department (which basically circles back to #2 - you promote someone who is good at one thing but then end up in a role that aren't qualified to handle). 10. Multiple layoffs- I think I've witnessed 3 official layoffs. And inbetween those 3, they were quietly still laying off other coworkers. This is extremely hard because A. you dont want to see your coworkers go, and B. the work load will fall onto your plate. 11. Extreme levels of burnout! You will never get ahead of your work, you will always be digging yourself out of hole. All your work is depenent on someone else, so no matter how great a job you do, if the other person isn't reliable you'll have to start over. I could go on and on.
