Pros

Remote environment, flexible PTO, year end bonus.

Cons

I really had high hopes for Palmetto and partially still do. The moment they let go the key people and culture folks, was the moment everyone felt a shift in energy and goals. The company is letting go core people that built the success of the company for fancy titles, fancy schools, and bigger investors. The company was known for its climate focus now it’s geared towards its capitalist functions. I think Chris Kemper has the right idea but I’m not so sure it’s advisor or board members do. They talk about DEI every DEI leader has either left or been let go in the year of 2022. The male driven environment has shown its face again. The talk of funding has been the only focus in 2022. At the end of the day this company has left it’s purpose for investors. If you care about the environment and want to do the right thing go to Patagonia.

Pros

Palmetto is a fast moving company that is so focused on its mission - you know you are in a place that is doing good. The team is top notch - smart, caring people. Truly not a jerk in the mix. Our work matters. In a very convoluted market, I am very confident in Palmetto's longevity.

Cons

I just wish I was able to see my coworkers more often! Remote is great, but sometimes you miss the camaraderie.

Pros

Flexibility, Unlimited PTO, Snacks when you are on site, Almost all of the staff in the Charleston office are truly nice guys, Best thing of all - people occasionally bring their dogs :).

Cons

Very unstable - seriously, In addition to former employees like myself - about half of the current staff/management are on their second round with the company. So, don't take a job with them if you want stability. Mostly very young management with an 'Everyone deserves a trophy mentality,' Pointless company-wide weekly meetings that are basically a competition for 'Who can use the most obnoxious business jargon in one statement?' Lastly, policies, guidelines, rules and management decisions change not only daily, but sometimes hourly. I'm all for necessary change, but this just makes the staff feel uneasy and makes management look weak and unorganized.
