Pros

Dog friendly, unlimited coffee, laid back

Cons

Pay. I took this job because the pay was equal to my previous job. Within months they lowered my pay by $3/hr and told me it was because they hired me as a temp. Would have been nice to know upfront, especially with how much the company is growing. How hard is it to compensate your employees who work hard everyday? They claim that they hire veterans and veterans first. I can't tell you how many vets I've seen let go and replaced with temps in my time here. Some of the upper management are awesome however don't expect the CEO to give you the time of day. Evan Hafer is not friendly at all. The majority of the leadership here has no idea what they are doing and have ridiculous expectations for their employees. There is a huge divide between people who work up front in the main offices and people in production, roasting, fulfillment, etc.

Pros

Really great people to work for, all around the most hard working and intelligent people I've met. I love the comradery that is built in the company. Everyone cares about each other, it's very tight knit. Women executives!! Dogs!! LOTS OF DOGS!! Infinite coffee. Extreme perks. Opportunity to move up in the company or move out of state to work is very high. Exciting things are always happening at the HQ-- Friday BBQ constantly, blowing s*** up, helicopters flying into the back lot. Generous PTO, 401k, Benefits.

Cons

When you work for a start up, changes happen constantly, especially a start up such as this. There are lots of "executives" but not lots of "managers" or "supervisors" meaning its hard to know your chain of command, lots of your questions go unanswered, and generally you never know what is or isn't happening. Raises are few. The changes are rapid and you need to be moldable to whatever they ask of you at that point in time, which has been great for me, but at a certain point, It has started becoming weary... I do think the worst speed bumps are over, though.
