Vantaggi

- Decent starting salary in central location

Svantaggi

- Micromanagement: Under constant scrutiny of corporate managers and aggressive management inflicts unecessary pressure on employees, and reflects lack of trust and comunication. Needless to say, comunication with management is unprofessional and often plays on "fear factor". -Unfriendly Hypercompetitive Culture: Healthy competition is good for business, however having competition as the focal point of company culture breeds animosity and gossip between employees, (something which I thought only happened in middle schools). This results in lack of cooperation and comunication between employees, definately not a confortable environement to work in. -Overpromise and underdeliver = False expectations: Over promising and creating false expectations to their employees is definately one of the main reasons this company has such a high employee turnover. The employee doesn't feel valued and financial incentives serve only as a "false recruitment and motivation strategy" to counteract the high employee turnover. - Lack of longterm value proposition and strategy: No sense of long term value proposition and strategy make the focal point of the company be the immediate short term profit. There is no sense of company purpose and direction, moreover transparency and comunication is blurry and unclear. There is little to no market analysis & strategy which often makes sales efforts innefficient and in vain. Having no solid long term value proposition and just a good sales pitch results in overpromising and low client retention. -High Employee Turnover: Most importantl of all is the astronomical employee turnover. All of the above factors contribute to an incredibly high employee turnover which reflects the appalling company culture, all time low employee satisfaction and poor management. If you are looking for long term carreer projection and progress this is not the place for you.

Vantaggi

LOVE working for Hello Soda! I am excited to be a part of something innovative, dynamic, and challenging while having fun and getting to work with amazing people both in Austin and in our headquarters in Manchester. Management genuinely wants what is best for me as a person and employee, and cares about my success. Management wants to know which direction I would like to grow with the company. So, I can do what enjoy, and work never feels like "work". The team is more of a family – friendly, resourceful, and a supportive sounding board for questions, knowledge and ideas. Most of all, the team is dedicated to Hello Soda and share the passion to see the company succeed. Events and Incentives – I have traveled to Cyprus for a kick off meeting, worked and trained in the U.K., floated down the river with the team, gone to happy hours and trivia nights and worked together for conferences and events. Hello Soda rewards and praises employees in company-wide meetings.

Svantaggi

Because Hello Soda is a smaller company, some people might not be used to the “roll up your sleeves” mentality: being resourceful, creative and adaptive in all positions and offices – which I actually enjoy. The constant change of the start-up atmosphere is not for everyone. Some people might not respond well when Management asks for more out of employees than to listen to problems. They want to see the employee take charge and come up with solutions.
