      Pros

      When I started with the company, I was given clear expectations and the support needed to succeed. This deteriorated at around the six-month mark.

      Cons

      Approximately 20-30 people worked with the company during my time there. For such a small company, they had very few long-lasting employees outside of the top management. It was a rare month when we did not lose at least one employee. Your job is never safe and there is no sense of job security here. You often didn't even know who you would report to since there was so much employee churn and promotions/demotions nearly monthly. Expectations and workload steadily increase until the workload is impossible to meet while still doing quality work. You could often predict the next person to be fired because they would be the most stressed and unable to keep up with the ever-rising workload.

      Thank you for your honest feedback about your experience at Searchbloom. I’m glad to hear that you felt supported with clear expectations when you started with us. However, I’m concerned to read that this support seemed to deteriorate over time. We strive to maintain consistency in how we support and communicate with our team, and it’s disheartening to hear that we fell short in your case. The issues you’ve raised about employee turnover and job security are particularly troubling. We understand that a stable work environment is crucial for employee satisfaction and productivity, and it appears we have some areas to address to improve our workplace culture and employee retention. Regarding the workload and management changes you mentioned, these are critical points that we need to examine more closely. We certainly never want our employees to feel overwhelmed or insecure about their roles. I will take your advice seriously and look into how we can better manage workload distribution and clarify roles within the team to prevent the issues you've described. Thank you again for your feedback. It’s through insights like yours that we can make meaningful changes. We are committed to improving and ensuring that Searchbloom can regain and uphold the high standards you experienced when you first joined us. Warmest Regards, Cody Jensen CEO, Searchbloom

      Pros

      -Competitve salary & company paid healthcare -Fully WFH, flexible work hours

      Cons

      -They promote an “employee-centric” culture, but it was quite the opposite. “Churn-and-burn” culture is more accurate. Workload was massive (often picked up the pieces of a departed employee) and expectations were unrealistic to say the least. Management had no problem scapegoating and speaking poorly of former employees. -Lack of coherent company vision. Frequently removed or added new roles/positions (therefore removing someone else’s role) to the company. -All of this led to constant terminations, layoffs, or resignations. Turnover rate was incredibly high, which clearly impacted employee morale. -They originally gave strategic autonomy to do what you saw fit for your clients, but then backtracked and began micromanaging. -Sorry to say that joining Searchbloom was ultimately a big mistake.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on your time with Searchbloom. I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations or the standards we aim to uphold. We appreciate your candidness, as it helps us identify and address potential issues within our organization and hiring process. It’s concerning to read that our intended employee-centric culture did not come through in your experience, and instead, you felt overwhelmed by an unsustainable workload and management practices. This is far from the supportive and empowering environment we strive to create. We take your feedback seriously and acknowledge that we must do better in aligning our actions with our core values. The high turnover rate you mentioned and its impact on morale and productivity is an area we are actively working to improve. We are re-evaluating our management training and development programs to ensure our leaders are equipped to support and sustain our teams effectively. Thank you again for your feedback. We are committed to making the necessary optimizations to ensure that our actions reflect our values and that Searchbloom is a place where all employees feel empowered and appreciated. Warmest Regards, Cody Jensen CEO, Searchbloom

I'm glad to hear that you appreciated the flexibility of remote work and our approach to management that avoids micromanagement. We believe in trusting our team to perform their best without overbearing oversight. However, I'm sorry to learn that other aspects of your time with us did not meet your expectations. Your comments concerning the formal nature of our executives and managers and your feeling that your time with us was not well-spent are concerning. We aim to maintain professionalism while also fostering a welcoming and engaging environment, and it sounds like we may have missed the mark for you. We take feedback like yours seriously as it helps us evaluate and improve our work culture and management approaches. I would welcome any further suggestions you might have on how we can make improvements in these areas. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me personally. Thank you again for your honest input. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Warmest Regards, Cody Jensen CEO, Searchbloom
