Pros

A true start-up, this is an incredible place to work with lot of thoughtfulness, energy, and creativity. Unlike other companies in this stage, Socio is very clear in where they are headed and are realistic in what they want to achieve and when. Leadership works alongside everyone else, are the first to admit they don't know everything, and open to learning from everyone. There are some interesting perks: unlimited PTO & sick days, PTO minimum, social outings (women's group, charity work, ping-pong tourneys, etc), free snacks/drinks, free parking, books and networking opportunities.

Cons

Growing pains - Traditional benefits - health insurance offerings, 401k plan, pay schedule/comp plans, etc are all being worked on, but right now, it's pretty sparse.

Pros

As a young company, there is a lot you can do/be trusted to do here. The good news is that you can probably be involved in and learn a lot more than you're used to at other jobs––the bad news is that its age makes it a company with a lot to prove, so coasting (which I would define as clocking in and out and performing your minimum requirements) isn't going to cut it. If that's what you want, you're gonna have a bad time. If you're looking to stretch yourself personally and professionally, this will be a much better match. I've had the chance to sit in on all kinds of discussions that I wasn't able to before. I've learned a ton about product, design, business, marketing, and legal, all of which is outside my job description. From a sales perspective, the earning potential is high. A younger company also means management is good at trying to attract/retain talent, so if you prove yourself valuable and full of initiative, there are friendly people waiting, snacks in the kitchen, drinks in the fridge, at least a couple social activities every month, etc.

Cons

Benefits aren't great yet, but I know that's actively being worked on as we continue to grow. Sometimes the smaller body of people means it's hard to find someone available to help with something you can't handle. That's not anyone's fault of course, as all the department heads probably put in 80 hours/week––it's just something you have to factor into your workflow.

Pros

Employees are trusted to work hard and hit goals. Truly makes you feel like a partner in the organization rather than just another employee. Company is growing incredibly fast, so there's a ton of career potential for people who work hard. Always asking for employee feedback on how to improve.

Cons

Things change very quickly, can be a tough environment for people who struggle to keep up or don't like change.
