Pros

Compensation is nice however more of your total comp is in stock than preferable.

Cons

High stress environment especially peak season. Not much work life balance and don't think about balancing family life unless you can hire it out or have a stay at home.

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear about the impact on work-life balance during peak season, especially around family commitments. We certainly want everyone to prioritize time outside work to recharge. Due to the nature of our industry and seasonality, we know that work may be busier at certain times of the year. We strongly encourage you to work directly with your manager to help support your workload. Your insights and candor are invaluable as we continue improving the work-life balance for our teammates.
