Pros

The best part, of working at AHEAD, is my coworkers. With industry leading employees across all facets of the company, there is a wealth of knowledge to absorb. The best part is my coworkers WANT to share their knowledge with me and WANT to hear what I have to say though I’ve only been at AHEAD a few months. You can walk up to anyone in the company, including the executive team and ask a question or share an idea. Everyone is always trying to bring new ideas to the table, not because it's their job, but because they love what they do and they want to see AHEAD succeed. The employees are at AHEAD truly care about you and want to see you thrive and grow, no matter your age, job, or skill level. It speaks to our unique company culture. Our unlimited PTO program and our 401k match are sweet bonuses too! Plus our office location in Chicago makes the work commute easy for all times of transportation.

Cons

Can be different to get to know those employees in remote locations.

Pros

The culture at AHEAD is one of the best perks of the company. I feel appreciated for the work I do and have open communications with every level of the business. The executive team works in the same space as the rest of the staff and are always willing to listen. The fridges and break room are stocked with snacks, pop, and... beer! There's no overbearing dress code, just look presentable. Feeling like a tshirt and hoodie for the work day, not a problem. Want to wear your brand new 3 piece suit, you're more than welcome to. From staff appreciation events, quarterly department outings, and holiday parties to marathons, programs geared towards helping less fortunate families and children in the city, and educational programs, AHEAD does it all. Oh yeah, did I mention flex pto!?! Apply here!

Cons

Sales never stop, so enabling them doesnt either. Sometimes I find myself working here and there on the weekends but nothing too cumbersome.
