DO NOT DO IT

Pros

This company is a small progressive startup with intelligent, hardworking people in a great area.

Cons

I NEVER ever make reviews. Never. I am also very skeptical of reviews when I read them because sometimes I think to myself, this person is probably exaggerating or they just don’t have a great work ethic. However, this company lacks organization, because they are in the beginning phases. There is no work/life balance. People who were working at the company at its conception are treated differently than new hires. It is a toxic work environment with micromanaging. If you are professional with more than five years of work history and care about your mental health. DO NOT TAKE A POSITION HERE.

Breck values all of our employees, and our success depends on each person’s talent, perspective, and input. We work hard to build up our new employees to match our standards of excellence, and our management team goes above and beyond in offering resources to employees who need help in achieving this. We believe strongly that excellence and work-life balance aren’t mutually exclusive. Breck is equally committed to our clients. Our company depends on their trust in us and our ability to fulfill our commitments—both in meeting expectations contractually and exceeding expectations through our core values in service and operation. That’s why we place a high value on personal responsibility and a strong work ethic with each person we hire. It’s a two-way street—our clients can only succeed if our employees succeed.

Pros

Remote working environment, albeit strict.

Cons

Unfortunately, the cons of my experience with this company far outweighed the pros. I'll break down my experience chronologically. I successfully completed three rounds of interviews with the hiring staff. One of the managers I interviewed with was unexpectedly terminated about six months after I onboarded, despite having been with the company for several years. This was concerning, as she had repeatedly emphasized the job security and long employee lifecycle at the company. When I accepted the formal offer, the operations staff assured me multiple times that they intended to provide a generous salary and benefits because they wanted me to "stay with them for a long time." However, ten months later, it became clear that the firm had misrepresented itself, not only in terms of its staff assigned to a federal contract but also regarding the federal team itself. This led to an extremely hostile work environment. When the manager of the Breck team reached out to both federal and Breck leadership for support, she was not only ignored but also subsequently terminated—along with the rest of the team. This experience gave me the impression that Breck does not prioritize the well-being of its employees or make genuine efforts to match employees with a healthy and functional work environment. It also appears that Breck offers promises of generous salaries and benefits to avoid paying hourly rates, knowing they may terminate employees as soon as they can no longer profit from contracts where Breck may have misrepresented itself. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking long-term work stability, loyalty, or a positive and supportive work environment.

It sounds like you are upset by this administration’s choice to cancel your contract, and that is understandable. I can tell what contract you were on by the details you included, and therefore I know how hard our corporate team worked with the client on the issues you mentioned. It was far from ignored when it was a weekly item on my desk. In the future, if you do not like a client you are supporting, you should contact HR to ask about changing contracts or consider leaving. While, it's never ideal to lose talent, no one is ever stuck. Just because something did not work out as planned also doesn’t mean someone was lied to. You say the only people who should work here are people who know the CEO (me) as though I had some kind of power to stop the contract terminations initiated by DOGE. I wish that I did. No government contracting company wants to be experiencing this. “Termination for convenience” is not a standard situation, and there are many companies out of business and people who are impacted. The company has only 2 people that I knew before hire, and unfortunately, when the government decides to cancel a contract this way, there is nothing that can be done. Knowing me wouldn’t change it. There are a few other inaccuracies in your post that indicate you are upset and want to express it. I understand the feeling. Please call me if there is anything you would like to discuss personally.

Workplace Trauma

Pros

There were absolutely no pros here sadly.

Cons

I’m honestly still very much traumatized from working here. They offer zero help claiming everyone is too busy to assist or train you. Then following this information they get upset when you make a mistake or something isn’t up to par with “their standards” which are not clear because they lack severe organizational skills. What traumatized me the most was the CEO blowing up my colleague and my phone after 11 p.m. on a weekday because she was stressed about now having information for a call at 4 am in the morning. For context, the call was about problems that had nothing to do with me and everything about the CEO that lacked understanding on how to use the software they hastily bought without knowing how to use any of it. It was chaotic. They do not respect your personal time. I told them many times I had an important appointment every week on the same day and time. Countless times this Was ignored and they would email and message and demand tasks during this one hour I asked to not be disturbed. I felt like I didn't matter and honestly, they made my self-esteem and depression worse. They literally claim in a comment posted here that if they don't push their employees they can't give their clients the best. I do not think clients would be happy knowing how the employees are treated for a product. You demean, disrespect and disregard people. It's disheartening as a women-owned company.

Since this is directed at me, as the CEO, I'd be happy to respond. I was covering for two colleagues on a 12am phone call with a company overseas since the project lead had a formal dinner that night. I asked three times during the workday to send me the agenda I'd need because you are correct, as backfill, I wouldn't have been able to have the call without it. Unfortunately, the notes were not sent by either teammate nor uploaded to our file system. While this oversight was quickly corrected with an email, overall this situation is an example of how we operate as a team to support each other and will help colleagues regardless of seniority. As for turnover, our rate is extremely low, largely because of this team-focused dynamic. I recognize you are upset, and I wish you the best of luck in finding a place that you are happy in.
