Pros

The work atmosphere is great when you are being bombarded by customers. As long as your senior is cool, it makes working easier.

Cons

Assigned ten additional new accounts in 2015 plus three SOX accounts. I get paid a very low salary for what I do, and thought that Workiva would award my tireless hour put in. I was completely wrong. Not only do they pay small salaries, they give laughable bonuses. During the stressful and long hours, I'd think to myself "working for my bonus." Very discouraging and to be honest, I doubt I'll be here much longer.

Pros

Remote work and flexibility Size of company is great - not too big, not too small Great coworkers (aside from the leadership)

Cons

- Horrible psychological work environment. The senior leaders in my department were absolutely terrifying and incredibly nitpicky, rather than encouraging and supportive to their people. - Career growth is a joke at Workiva, and leaders make it clear by their actions (and at times, words) that it's not a priority. I remember sitting on a department call where my VP said, "Growth is not getting a promotion at Workiva," and the context in which she said it made it feel cold, patronizing, and disheartening. Departmental calls were often uncomfortable and totally deflating. - Extremely unrealistic and very subjective standards - No manager accountability - People constantly live in fear, but the work flexibility and "great place to work" facade keep employees stuck in a toxic loop - When they get the slightest whiff of unhappiness, they push you out. I've seen it time and time again (which then creates a toxic fear culture) - Constant gaslighting
