Pros

The executives have figured out the right balance between leadership involvement without micromanaging employees. Employees are treated as intelligent, professional human beings and allowed to make decisions. The executive team has always been available to answer questions and provide clarification as needed. This is the first place I have ever worked that the rules are designed to help you succeed and grow both personally and professionally. I could not be happier with this career move.

Cons

The only "negative" thing I have to say is, if you are not flexible and comfortable with growth and change, this is not the place for you. The executives and managers push for growth and change with a goal of improving employees.

Pros

I worked at DrFirst for half a decade so I saw lots of good things and met lots of good people. DrFirst offered me a very flexible schedule and good PTO. WFH may be possible for many positions. M-F casual dress was an additional +++

Cons

I'm not exactly sure why, but working at this company seems to drain away people's happiness. It might be because it's a small company and so people are asked to do a LOT. For example you may be asked to cover duties and tasks completely outside of your skillset and main job duties at any time. If your peer quits, all their workload may fall on you indefinitely. It's a crapshoot if management replaces the employee that left with someone new. No recognition will be given for this extra effort, and if you can't handle doing the job of 2 people it will reflect negatively on you performance reviews. All of this doesn't seem to be malicious by management, but it drains the motivation of good people and grinds away happiness. I saw it happen countless times and experienced it first hand. Management would often give conflicting business direction and drop new tools/products/projects mid development. Because upper management comes up with new initiatives each quarter without fully vetting impact and risk. Lack of follow through. One more thing, if you do get hired here, negotiate the highest salary possible because annual raises leave much to be desired.
