Great culture, great benefits (unlimited PTO etc), lots of opportunities to travel and I absolutely love that it is remote.

I have no complaints except sometimes there are very tight deadlines and very last minute requests that need to be completed asap.

Pros

-Supporting management leaders -Room for growth either laterally across brands or upwards in career progression -Lots of opportunities to work cross-functionally -Very committed to diversity across the workplace and pay equity across the organization -Several opportunities outside of your normal day - to - day to enhance your personal and career growth- Like toastmasters, and mental health guided meditations weekly -Progressive benefits package

Cons

-Our brands are siloed with many different leaders that don't always interact with each other. If we had the ability to interact more frequently I think there would be more cross-team opportunities vs. turnover
