Pros

If it’s a year you’ll get 100% of your bonus, then your struggles will have been worth the pain. That’s the only pro.

Cons

The entire company is a con. Do not work here. It’s a poorly run “startup” with no process. The amount of money spent on CMO’s who don’t last year, consultants from McKinsey, and corporate housing for executives is absurd and offensive. Mind you this is the same company that sent out a congratulatory email about their lobbyists shutting down the minimum wage increase because they hate paying a living wage to their store employees - the ones who actually do all the work. Salaries are below industry standard here and they recently implemented unlimited pto while wiping out everyone’s accrued PTO. The ERG’s are for show and do very little - probably because the head cheese hates diversity (except for use marketing materials). HR was seemingly plucked from the bottom of the barrel - some of the laziest and most incompetent people you’ll encounter. Every department here has 100 reasons to lie, obfuscate, and blame others to cover their own gross mismanagement.

Pros

Incredible building, most managers were very nice. Most, if not all of the employees are amazing and kind and so fun. They throw a lot of events which are super fun but if you're a contractor, you're excluded from most/all of it.

Cons

The majority of the company are contractors. There is a clear gap between contractors and fully employed individuals, down to the way people socialize in shared spaces.
