Pros
The company started well before it was sold.
Cons
once the company was acquired the core focus on employees was no longer a priority. There are many tools on websites that focus on building a mental health toolkit for workers that would help prioritize employee safety and well-being. I would also commit to a new-employee-focused venture every year to ensure employees feel valued and appreciated for their hard work. In addition: Employees should know how the company stands financially and be involved in impactful decisions like whether to match 401k or what the COLA should be ( 2%,2.5%,6%) based on our revenue from the prior year. When the company succeeds, the employees should receive higher COLA and bigger bonuses. If we didn't do so well, Talk with the employees and strategize on how we can improve. Most importantly don't disregard honest genuine feedback from the front line. Be willing to embrace an employee-first corporate structure.
