Pros

The team is absolutely brilliant and are adept at navigating the whims of a leader who's only out for himself. They're also exceptionally underutilized. You'll do great if you are willing to take direction for your every move and willing to just complete the vision of leadership.

Cons

Do you value a culture of mutual respect, trust, work-life balance, and any semblance of autonomy? Look elsewhere. During my tenure at Everdays, I was exposed to an extremely toxic workplace that honestly affected my self worth as a human. The organization operates in fear of the CEO who is very verbally abusive and angry. Often hard to reach during the workday but wanting to be involved in even micro-decisions, the team would work nights and weekends at the whim and convenience of one person. Unfortunately, the family obligations I missed I cannot get back. The team is absolutely brilliant. They’re also exceptionally underutilized. When presenting information and concepts, the team would worry much more about delivery and presenting it when the mood was right, rather than moving the business forward. All have developed high EQ. As a personal example, I was often interrupted to tell me that I wasn’t trusted (thought brought on to impart expertise in my subject matter area). I was not even trusted with extremely low level tasks without his involvement (so would need to meet evenings and weekends to get his blessing). This to me reflects an exceptional disregard for people's talents and personal time. During the interview process, I was promised the opportunity to be an expert in my area, and offer what I learned over the course of my career back to a new, growing business. None of that ended up being true. Fool's gold. The way it's being run, this company will not be successful. The CEO, however, will move on to a new venture. I would caution anyone reading from working for him. He is only out for himself and leaves a wake of folks who are exceptionally talented but now have a low self worth from how they were treated.
