Pros

Great coworkers. That is all.

Cons

The 5 star reviews are posted to bury poor reviews. Shoddy work too. The last collection of 5 star reviews were all posted on the same day after a bunch of bad reviews. Underpaid. You do not get paid for stat holidays or overtime. No work life balance, days off are during the week because weekends have the best pickup rate. You have to ‘earn’ Saturdays and Sundays off by hitting unrealistic targets. Felt very experimental when I was there with so many drastic changes to procedure, seemed like they didn’t know what they were doing. A lot of reps went without breaks because of their back to back calls, which the CEO vehemently denies. CEO is quick to yell at employees. They make you sign a contract that you’ll give 4 weeks notice before quitting, but have fired people almost immediately after they put in their notice. Crazy turnover, I can name no former employees that were happy there. For a company that claims to be progressive, they do not care at all about their employees mental wellbeing. Their reddit reviews will show you how much they actually care about students too.

Pros

I've been at startups where people operations are a nightmare but they have their processes fairly dialed-in. I didn't have to start from scratch. For adaptations I made, the team works at a fast-pace to adopt.

Cons

Fairly resource constrained, but that is typical of a start-up

Thanks for your excellent feedback! While we are indeed a startup, we do our best to make sure we have good and solid processes. I'm glad you were able to get traction early. Regards, Jason

Pros

The leadership team are incredible. I have excelled my career by 5 years in 1 year. GrantMe puts a lot of trust in me and I have never worked such an encouraging environment. The growth opportunities here are vast and as one of the core values at GrantMe is 'leaders creating leaders', these opportunities are presented to you from the minute you walk in the door. The CEO and COO founder has created a world class culture that drives the team to achieve their visions and goals (personal and career) all while having fun doing so. I have learned more about myself, my abilities and my potential in 12 months at GrantMe than the 10 years of work experience elsewhere. GrantMe achieves the unachievable, removes limiting beliefs, grows daily and has you loving every minute of it.

Cons

The biggest downside it that I did not join GrantMe sooner and only join this rocket ship 12 months ago.

Wow. Let's talk about incredible...your review is incredible. Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a fantastic review. And of course, there are some other downsides you haven't mentioned. But I do appreciate all the support and positivity :) Thanks for being an incredibly teammate and for being such a cheerleader for GrantMe and our team.
