Wurk

Wurk was great at first, but shortly after employment our department leader took a step back from the company. A promotion was made in his place, and our new manager had zero previous management experience. 

I quickly went from a weekly call discussing my career advancement as well as personal life with my manager, to a few here and there, to none at all. While my career path was deemphasized, my responsibilities ramped up with my serving as a trainer to a new hire, and leading business development efforts. A vastly increased workload was put onto my plate with zero pay increase, title promotion, or credit given. Despite this I achieved 138% of quota with 2 months to go, got the new hire ramped up, and increased overall production. 

On top of this, every time the new manager put forth a goal or idea, she would not take any feedback without seeing it as "pushback", despite having more experience in this particular field. She would make promises to other members of the team that my tasks would be done by a certain date, without first consulting to see where my workload was and if this was possible. She essentially stripped all autonomy and became the ultimate micromanager. 

You could tell management was panicking and she did not know how to respond. With me being the voice that would consistently offer alternative perspective rather than say "yes I agree" on everything she said, she ultimately made me out to be an issue and I was terminated due to "performance" despite being at 138% of quota with two month remaining. My performance was never once brought into question before this, in fact it had been praised for stellar results the three weeks prior. 

Wurk used to be a fun and angling place to work, but things are changing for the worse. If you are considering going into the sales & marketing department, I'd suggest seeing what other options are out there. 

I have worked here for a short amount of time and its obvious that the managers and staff are all very cliqued up. If you arent friends with the support manager she will actively make your life worse. Good luck ever keeping your tier 1s or tier 0s. The difference in training between myself and those the manager was already friends with is horrible. I have been here months and my first month of in person training the manager just drank herself out of existence and forgot things she told me. I was never helped unlike the new hire who had hands on training every day. I have been asked not to even ask questions to the other staff. Truly a horrible experience and if you get lucky and enjoy working here you probably enjoy being a concieted and cruel.

This is the first place I have worked where the team all gets along great. Everyone is working hard to solve complex problems. The work is challenging but not overwhelming. As Wurk is a startup, there are not a lot of processes in place. If you are not a self-starter, this is not the place for you. It is exciting to be in the cannabis industry working with cannabis companies. This is also challenging as they are growing very quickly as well. This puts a lot of pressure on us every day to solve problems quickly. For me this is rewarding. For some this is stressful.

This is a fun place to work, people are great. For a startup its a little less than I expected starting out but since I started there have been lots of new policies and more structure as to be expected. Leadership really tries and seems to care about good talent. 

Wurk is performance-based so if you cant self manage and get your stuff done with little management then it's probably not for you.

Wurk is filled with people who are working toward the same mission & goal, and who are incredibly driven. The benefits are great, and the remote work environment is a huge perk. Management sometimes doesn't seem to know which direction it's going in, but tries to have the best intentions. 

Granted, there are a lot of things that could improve, but overall it is a great company to work for. Wurk is a small company, and while it's no longer a 'start up' sometimes it can feel that way (this is simultaneously good & bad - depends on your work ethic). 

But you can't beat the unlimited PTO!

If you like disorganization, mismanagement, and the worst ocmmunication I've experienced in 20 years working, then absolutely work here.

They don't even have control over their product, it's white labeled. What's more, its a problem that didn't need to be solved, so you have to shoe horn your way into people's purview.

It's sad to say but this company does not value employee input and would rather place politics over building a valuable product.

Folks feel stifled and must fit in based on extremely narrow and unrealistic standards.

Overall, it's awful and I want to leave as soon as humanly possible

If you can't pivot on a daily basis, you might not succeed there. Other than that, the teams there are amazing, but the company suffers greatly from executive bloat. The leadership is physically present, but never has time to lead. They also do nothing to keep employees happy in rough times. "Welcome to the startup world" doesn't suffice.

At first glance, this seems great! Awesome benefits and pay but company needs a lot of help. The CEO and Executive Team is really out of touch from day to day operations. There is a lot of turn around and lack of follow through. Your co-workers and benefits will be the best part of this job.

Outrageously bad management and politics in the workplace. They care more about your 'orientation' than getting work done and heaven forbid you do anything against their conceited, riduculous social standards.

Run Forest, Run.
Should be 0 stars.
