DrFirst strongly believes in giving opportunities to people who are driven, disciplined, and smart – even if sometimes they don’t have the necessary experience, our goal is to try to help mold and grow people who have a lot of potential into our leaders of tomorrow. Not everyone is always a good fit, and if they are not, we wish them the best. Sometimes sophistication in approach reduces nimbleness and agility, therefore in a quickly evolving marketplace we choose to drive forward and using the fail fast methodology.

Pros

met a lot of people who were nice and seemed to care since it's a fully remote setting.

Cons

Constantly in limbo in regards to your schedule. You find out a week before the end of the month what hours you will be working, every single month no matter how long you have been working there. Nepotism is huge here and everyone knows somebody when they are getting promoted and hired. There are a few departments that have three coworkers that are family, pretty sure it explains itself. As well as firing people left and right out of the blue. The company cleared the whole implementation department and Leaders and Directors that have been there for years. I have seen coworkers become sheeps in regards to the growth aspect and do whatever they can to move up. Pay is super low compared to the industry average. The company has probably got rid of over 200 employees since I have been working here. Email staff to let them know people were let go due to "individual performance" and not business-related reasons. False hope in regards to moving up and small annual raises. Seeing great coworkers go weekly due to better opportunities since there is no communication at all between Managers and their staff. Would not recommend it to anyone that believes they owe themselves a lot and want to strive for a lot. Not a lot of growth opportunities. If fully remote and a paycheck is what you want, this is the place. If you are looking for a place where you can easily approach your leaders, don't work here. Coworkers let go for not meeting metrics that in no way shape and form correlate with the job performed.

Pros

competitive pay, nice office, work from home flexibility

Cons

average to below average benefits, penalized for taking pto (expected to work and take calls from leaders and owners on pto), family owned business - lots of nepotism, conflicts of interest everywhere, work-life balance is not on the table, I saw one employee given special kudos and recognition because they were on a conference call while having Covid.
