Pros

-Mission is lived and part of business and culture -Young, smart, agile forward thinking CEO -Team members are smart, hard working -Everyone likes showing up to work & enjoys each other's company -Book club monthly which means everyone's in a growth mindset -Flexible hours (go to the doctor or WFH if you have to) -Fun company culture -Big potential for the business -Tech savvy (everyone's on mac, Google, Basecamp, etc) -Standing desks & free snacks -Backed by Australian parent company so we're part of something bigger There's actually a TON of pros. First time I've loved 98% of everything a company does and stands for.

Cons

The cons of any startup. Growth pains like "Oh, we need to better that process now that we're bigger" haha The benefits package is still evolving. But I have faith that it'll grow to be highly competitive and meaty in the near future.

Pros

Incredible onboarding and hands on training, even in a hybrid role. Getting to meet the CEO and executive team right away makes the work feel personal and truly valued. Also there is clear communication from leadership and a team that truly cares about your success.

Cons

Like with any job, priorities shift quickly, but leadership is always very supportive and understanding.

Pros

- Had fantastic teammates across the board on the Education Consultant team. They do a good job of hiring kind and hard-working people. - For the most part, they do a good job of respecting an 8-hour workday - Hybrid Schedule (2 days remote per week)

Cons

- Poor leadership: No transparency, a cult-like culture with lots of fake positivity. - You are doing essentially 5 or 6 different jobs in one (Customer Success / Account Management, Recruiting + Onboarding, Customer Service / Phone Support, Morning and Evening Dispatching, Managing Subs directly, including having negative feedback conversations, Payroll / Timesheet / Compliance management). - Siloed teams: if you're stuck with a bad / incompetent manager, you're on your own. - Micromanaging: There is almost no time in the day that isn't accounted for by management. As I left the company, they were beginning to monitor employees on a level that felt ridiculous and infantilizing
