Pros

The field team is comprised of dedicated, hardworking professionals who support one another despite the lack of leadership

Cons

Management often utilizes initial incentives to encourage long-term commitment without following through on stated promises. The Tempe leadership remains physically absent and largely unapproachable, creating a significant disconnect between oversight and operations. There is a notable lack of presence in the field and minimal substantive communication from project leads. Responsibility is frequently deflected rather than shared, often leading to individual employees being unfairly held accountable for systemic failures. The resulting culture is one of fear, where exiting the company often leads to reputation-damaging commentary from leadership. The organization faces significant customer co concentration risk due to an over-reliance on a single revenue stream. Without a robust strategy for diversification, the firm is highly vulnerable to market fluctuations. Lastly— The company consistently overlooks the contributions of field staff, leading to a profound sense of disengagement. Compensation structures are reactive rather than merit-based, making career advancement an uphill battle. There has been a notable exodus of qualified leadership due to organizational dysfunction. Unfortunately, the retention of a few detrimental management figures has compromised the culture, resulting in high turnover and a loss of institutional knowledge.
