Pros

ESOP 401k Career opportunities if you’re willing to go after them. Half day Friday (unless a client schedules a call)

Cons

The expectation is to work at least 45 hours a week despite the handbook saying 40 hours with occasional overtime. Management will call and ask why you only worked 40 hours before they approve your time sheet and remind you that free overtime is mandatory. No respect when it comes to contacting you after hours. Health insurance is embarrassingly bad for a company so “reputable”. The rest of the industry sees it as a sweat shop. You likely won’t make close to your market value as your tenure progresses, yet management wonders why the turnover rate is the highest it’s ever been. Hard pass on the new CEO.

Pros

Every individual I work with is personally invested in their work and our collective success. As an ESOP we personally benefit when the company does well financially. Management is invested in you personally, and will help you develop a growth plan that aligns with your individual goals and career plans. We have a hybrid schedule, flexibility when it comes to personal appointments, great benefits, and bonuses. This is the first job i've had where i didn't feel like just a number on a spreadsheet to senior leadership, the CEO meets with every new employee and seems genuinely interested in getting to know you as a person.

Cons

It's a fast paced environment, but you will never be asked to meet a deadline your manager isn't willing to meet themselves or meet with you.
