Pros

The only reason for one star is that I think they have good intentions. Free markets are cool but do not fix everything.

Cons

A brief history lesson on how Stand Together came to be what it is today - Basically there were a bunch of related non-profits that operated in a hierarchy of favorites. The "best" were employees of CKI or CKF. A bunch of mergers happened and a lot of people got laid off--of course the lay offs impacted former CKI and CKF employees the least. Now the former elite make up many of the junior-executive management and they have generally not lost their sense of entitlement. This workplace was incredibly toxic and taxing on my mental health. They speak in coded language constantly. This workplace is not at all friendly to those with learning disabilities, processing issues, or if you are on the spectrum. They operate on the teachings of a "holy bible" of sorts--Good Profit by Charles Koch. Not a bad book per se, but definitely weaponized against employees at their non profit arm. Many employees suffer burnout early in their careers. 0/10 would not recommend.

Pros

Resourceful and makes a good effort as a company overall to make sure employees are encouraged to share and contribute ideas. Welcoming to what you want to say than many other companies.

Cons

I can’t tell if it is other teams. But for my team the job has been very demanding, and being pushed to get things done faster and faster can be frustrating, especially when you are new are trying to learn and comprehend complex systems. Meetings can overload times to get any stuff done, and sometimes you can be micromanaged to a point you can become overtly stressed out. also if you are not a Republican, Libertarian, or at least pro Conservatism; you should keep that to yourself. Your political alignment like it or not can and will be used against you.
