Pros
I've worked for large corporations and small startups. LP is very intentional about its culture and how people are treated. For being publically traded, there is a small feel to it. Employees don't get slammed with any board member dissatisfaction (is there any?) as opposed to other corporations where shareholder angst was taken out on employees. The executive staff is transparent. If you need 30 minutes with a c-level or vp, it's relatively easy to get. Although it doesn't pander to millennials like some companies with youthful ancillary benefits (espresso machines, whatever young people like), they focus on benefits that matter which is very refreshing. Lots of guidance in how to grow in the company. Status quo is unacceptable.
Cons
Not really a con. The commute is getting a little tough from outside Davidson county. Under new mayoral governance, corporations will be getting tax incentives to program carpool/transit programs for employees looking to get away from traditional commuting. I hope that LP can embrace some work from home time as well as commuting programs that can alleviate the stress of the long drive in and out of downtown.
