Pros

- Loyal to good employees - Senior Management sincerely motivated to be a great company - Lots of opportunity in rapidly growing company

Cons

- The growth has accelerated past the capability of a lot of senior management's competence - Private Equity ownership is not bad, but not inherently interested in the long term; Finance driven decisions conflict with goals set forth by other legs of corporate leadership (HR, Operations)

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
