Pros

Lots of internal growth within the company Certification bonuses + tuition reimbursement The office culture is fun, high energy, collaborative + hybrid/remote options Company events for team building within the department as well as the whole company Incredible people to work with, collaborative, and teams that are always looking to improve Every company lists snacks as a perk but we actually have the best options and espresso machines (fresh fruit, pickles in a bag, jelly bellies?!) Flexible PTO Competitive healthcare (begins quickly so short lapse when switching jobs) Free gym membership tokens through FitOn App Amazing holiday party is back! Transparency, daily briefing meetings that keep the company on the same page We use Slack, this is superior for communication. 401k + 3.5% match We actually have the best swag, quality products you actually WANT to own Sustainability and DEI departments and ERG's that actually makes impacts in the business A mission driven product with proven impact

Cons

Every company has growing pains, especially with growing as fast as we did - the company has grown there have been more communication gaps between departments. Pay could be more competitive.

Pros

Very accommodating with personal time, work life balance, and work events. Big emphasis on the maintenance of company culture and morale (sorta). Unlimited PTO is real and great. They do tuition reimbursement which is very nice. Snacks in the breakroom are bumpin'

Cons

The training was lackluster and the difference between the training phase and actually working on the floor was pretty stark. Commission is lackluster and not industry standard No emphasis on further development of the individual employee for the role they are in. Below industry standard pay that was consistently swept under the rug when brought up to both CEOs (you read that right, more on that later) in AMA question sessions. Change to return to office policies that didn't need to be made for any other reason than the equity of the building. Long story short; the original big boss took out a "loan" of sorts that isn't being repaid in a timely enough fashion, ultimately leading to his ousting from his own company to bring in a boss more seasoned to eliminate said deficit at the expense of morale, company vision, and any independent financial gain for those in his employ. Made to feel like a robot with a broken go to market strategy that stretches the borders of credulity to the point of snapping. Mass exodus's ensue with no recourse. Slash and burn, belt tightening, eerily pump-and-dump-feeling tactics that just don't foster cheery sentiments to those driving there everyday.
