Pros

-Access to entire company portfolio of fitness and recreation facilities. -Competitive healthcare options. -Department lunches and meals. -Work location flexibility. -Investment options.

Cons

Without getting into too much specific detail, I would just forewarn any potential hires that this company has grown to the status of large corporation so don't expect any recognition for your hard work and long hours. The CEO won't remember you or your name and if the company doesn't feel like you fit their needs and are not worth keeping, they will let you go. There is a lot of fraternization and cliques within the corporate office which can make new hires feel unwelcomed and isolated.

Pros

- Strong Team Culture: The coworkers are the highlight of the company. It’s a group of genuinely hard workers who are always willing to help. - High-Energy Environment: The pace is fast, but you never feel isolated because there is a lot of support from the people around you along the way. - Fair Expense Reimbursement: The company is good about reimbursing for miles driven and providing stipends for employee use of internet and cell phones, which is a helpful and appreciated perk.

Cons

- Stagnant Compensation: I have not received a pay increase in 3 years. With the cost of living rising rapidly, the lack of merit-based raises makes it difficult to stay long-term. - Visibility over Performance: Career growth and raises seem to depend more on how much "visibility" you have with leadership rather than the actual quality of your work. If you aren't constantly in the spotlight, your contributions are easily overlooked. - Unmet Benefit Promises: When I started, there was an expectation of certain benefits and company assets as the organization grew. However, after 4 years, many of these have not materialized for my role, which makes it feel like the initial promises haven't been kept. - Professional Standstill: Despite the company’s growth, there are very few actual growth opportunities for long-term employees. It is disheartening to feel stuck in the same place for years while the company continues to scale.
