Pros

Easy onboarding For my department, it was a very smooth onboarding experience with clearly structured videos and trainings. As with any onboarding, it is tedious and you don't necessarily retain all of it but I understand why it's required. Decent salary Can confidently say that they will absolutely negotiate pay and will even work with you to find a salary that fits expectations. WFH As someone who has become accustomed to working from home, the flexibility is appreciated and welcomed. The company does like to see teams get together in person and encourages in-person meetings but seems to understand there are limitations.

Cons

Outdated systems Honestly, a pretty bad CRM system is being used but they are implementing a better one now so can't be too upset about it. Poor organization of centralized saved files Biggest complaint by far is how erratically centralized files are saved such as examples of emails/ outreach, access to other markets' files, or the outdated statistics and company info. There is no rhyme or reason for where important documents are saved and how to access them.

Pros

1. This is such a strong and mission-driven culture with a great work-life balance. 2. Extensive training is available throughout your employment to refer back if needed. These trainings cover all areas of operation: from large processes and software tutorials to the smallest of administrative tasks. 3. Specific departments (Marketing, Finance, IT, etc.) that provide resources, allowing staff to focus on core responsibilities. 4. Regular regional and national meetings that provide and encourage connection between employees and chapters. 5. Peer mentorship program for new employees that has been incredibly helpful.

Cons

Not necessarily "Cons" but things to consider if applying for a position: 1. This is largely an event-based position and the change in focus between events requires a good amount of flexibility and adaptability. 2. Workload can become heavy during campaigns. 3. Given the remote environment, there are a lot of meetings. It's necessary and actually good for maintaining connection and focus, but it can sometimes be repetitive.
