Pros

-Laid back office environment -Snacks -Free beer on Fridays -Decent work/life balance

Cons

-Top leadership has very little business acumen. They've got a lot of experience on democratic campaigns and very little in commercial business. -"shut up and do it" mentality coming from leadership. Not open to criticism or willing to hear out other options. Most managers just accept that reality and do as told by executives rather than push for a better or more feasible idea. -very incestuous workplace, more like a college party than a place of work. -turnover is huge. most employees come and go fairly quickly. -Sketchy sales practice locks customers in unknowingly and customers who have decided to cancel due to dropping out of a race or insufficient funds will be harassed vigorously for payment. -Very low pay relative to similar positions elsewhere in the area. -Little opportunity for career growth.

Pros

- Work from home - 401k matching - Can take up to three weeks off

Cons

In the CS department, no one knows what they're doing. Due to layoffs and turnover, a lot of internal knowledge is gone. Unfortunately, the documentation that is available is often dated and incorrect. Client questions are not easily answered, and management likes to blame the entry level workers below them. The work environment is also very fake woke. Big girl boss vibes. I genuinely feel bad for the clients because they are trying to do good work and we cannot provide real answers for their issues. There's also no room for growth. I think part of the turnover issue is that the company wants management to target older staff and replace them with cheaper new hires. I also find it incredibly gross when Bonterra exploits national disasters for advertising.
