Pros

I have been working in the Chicago office for over 2 years, and it has been great! This is the company that will create the foundation for your future. Since we are still some what small, you will play many different roles in one position which will help you gain undeniable experience. They take growth and promotions very seriously, and positions have actually been created to make them attainable. This is just one way you are supported by your managers, co-workers, and especially the co-founders, Morgan and Andrew.

Cons

The Chicago office dynamic is very loud, outgoing, and friendly.  A very reserved, private person may not be the best fit. That being said we do have a brand new, larger remodeled office that allows for everyone to have their own space to get work done.

Pros

I have worked at Trendline Interactive full-time for over 3 years in the Chicago office. I can honestly say that this is the best company I have ever worked for. The management, at all levels, treat you with the utmost respect and encourage you to grow and develop your career. I have been enabled to to develop myself professionally and personally while working here and moved into a management role that didn't even exist when I was hired. I have never had that feeling of dread when heading into work at Trendline. In fact, I am excited for work and take great pride in what I am able to accomplish while there. The office environment can be described with the old cliche "work hard, play hard." The employees in Chicago and all very dedicated to the work we perform, and at the same time support each other in both a personal and professional manner, from the entry-level team members to our co-founder. I really cannot say enough good things about this company and the people who work there.

Cons

The team is spread out through the US from New Jersey to LA and everywhere in between. There are time zone and cultural differences between the offices which can sometimes make it difficult to collaborate if you are a typical 9-5 worker. Clients are also spread out which can sometimes require that you work early or stay late to get the job done. If you are looking for a traditional office environment with clearly defined roles and bureaucracy with a set 9-5 work day, this job is not for you.

Pros

This is one of the best companies I have worked for. I have been here a little over 2 years and have no intentions of leaving anytime soon. You will love your co-workers, they are all smart, driven, motivated and truly have a passion for what they do. We are like a family here and everyone looks out for each other. The best part... when you run into the two owners of the company the first thing they ask is not how things are going or how work is, they ask how YOU are and how YOU'RE doing. They truly care for each and every one of the employees here at the company, you don't find that at every job. We are a team and the way we work with each other shows that. We are encouraged to grow in our skill set and given every opportunity possible, we all want to see each other and the clients we work for succeed. Take a look at the culture deck, it really is the culture here - unlimited vacation days, profit sharing, your voice is heard no matter what your title is and the best "work will always be here, take time to be with your family"

Cons

There are not a lot of food options close by the office to grab a quick lunch. Hopefully you like Jimmy Johns.

Howdy, Yep....food options suck here. However, with the addition of Savory Salads and mobile ordering, the options just got 100% better don't you think? :-) Glad you think we are pretty cool to work with....I know that we have a lot of fun in the office yet we still manage to get a lot of stuff done huh? Thanks for taking the time to write on our little corner of Glassdoor...I know that Morgan and I truly appreciate it. Andrew Kordek Co-Founder and Chief Something.
