Pros

good people, and it seems to grow every day

Cons

there are some really frustrating policies. i believe they hurt morale way more than they help production. 1. no vacation time for the first year 2. you can only use vacation time one week at a time. you can't use 3 days of it and you can't use two weeks at a time. this basically means you can't travel far away and have a good time while you work here. 3. no PTO for hourly employees. 4. if you take time off around the holidays you lose your holiday pay.

Here's a more accurate description. Remember, all this are reviewed *prior* to hire and agreed upon before hire 1) no vacation time for the first year (industry typical for hourly employees) 2) you can only use vacation time one week at a time. you can't use 3 days of it -- We do allow vacation weeks to be separated if you have multiple weeks. We do believe in the restorative nature of vacations, so we require you to take a full week at least once per year. Many companies don't care. We do. 3) no PTO for hourly employees - This is industry typical for hourly employees. You do get paid vacations. 4) if you take time off around the holidays you lose your holiday pay. Hourly employees only. We need to support out employees who are working in the field. You are welcome to use vacation time at any time of the year.

Pros

Working remotely for the last 6 years has been great. The company has seen tremendous growth and I think it is largely due to the tenure of employees, their deep historical knowledge, and the care they have to about the company and their teams.

Cons

This year people in the office got raises and those of us at home got skipped over completely. It's worth pointing out that most of the longest tenured employees are all working from home. The people who have been here the longest, know the most and have the most invested in this company are the ones getting passed over.
