Great people and fun culture, but weak leadership - Recensione dipendente - Content Writer presso Method CRM

Good entry level job can help you get your foot in the door.

Lack of concern for employee well being especially when it comes to burn out and mental health. The managers and leadership of this team don’t really have the people skills or social awareness to understand what it truly means to support and help a person thrive and find fulfillment in their role. They’re more preoccupied with hitting numbers to make themselves look good. Lots of work for very low pay and you’ll get little to no sympathy or understanding if you hit anything below the maximum for your earnings. Super toxic work environment. Team would be better off if they hired someone external with proper management and app development experience to lead this team.

If you have little to no job experience, this job helps you get your foot in the door for future opportunities and you get to learn a lot. Otherwise, you get to say you have a job and earn a bit of money. Team is friendly which is nice. You also get a lunch credit once a week and it’s only 1 day in office after onboarding while the other 4 days are remote.

Compensation is low compared to what you’re expected to do. This is a stressful and busy job. Oftentimes team members work after hours and/or on weekends to catch up on work. Many people don’t have time for a lunch break and must eat while they work in order to hit their billable hours goal for the day. Workload ramps up fast after onboarding. Multiple people were let go during their probation period, so keep this in mind if you take up this job. Turnover is very high for various reasons and team members often leave before the 2 year mark since they find better opportunities (good on them!). In this role, you have to balance keeping your customers happy, while making sure you have enough hours to hit (sometimes you may have to work more hours than you get paid for, and you’re capped at a low payout anyways), while also making Method more money, which is a conflict of interest in a way due to their business model. Many members of management/leaders in the company do not have a university degree and have been working at Method for a long time and this is their only job in the tech industry, so how they operate is very Method-specific (also seems like whoever stays just couldn’t find better options). As a junior, you get 5 sick days and 10 vacation days which is too low given how burnt out the employees are. All in all, it’s a messy team/company so find better options if you can.
