Pros

Mission driven company, with strong focus, process, and the opportunity to work with an exceptional CEO who is passionate, thoughtful, intelligent, and accessible. A place where I feel blessed to work for an organization where revenue generated goes into fueling a product that is creating kinder communities across the globe

Nothing that doesn't come with a fast paced startup. There is a lot to do and if you are looking for a roll your sleeves up environment with lots of opportunity to act like an owner and make an impact, this is it.
