Pros

The potential growth of the company. The feed back and direct training. The people are amazing! The company environment & recourses. I may be biting off of the last one. Seems that way, anyway.

Cons

The drama in the work place right now is it appears that our co-CEO Liz Elting wants to get bought at a ridiculously high price and is making everyone's lives miserable until she get's what she wants. It is unbelievable that this co-ceo has had so little involvement with any aspect of business, and just flings baseless attacks at the staff. The real reason the court is involved in any way is to control Liz’s behavior in the office, which is at times violent at times. 

Fortunately because Liz is not actually active in company management, the company continues to enjoys great success. Elting should realize how lucky she has it, and take reasonable sum to exit the business. Instead, she litigates endlessly with false headline-grabbing accusations to try to pressure and blackmail the company. Thank god her plan is failing miserably. Other than Liz Elting creating trouble, TPT is a wonderful place to work

Pros

Job requires a great deal of organizational skills and timely actionable work on a daily basis, this forces you to learn at a quick pace and manage a wide variety of tasks at the same time. You work with people from around the world and practice negotiating, budgeting, quality control on short TAT and building relationships.

Cons

The work can be never ending. This creates for a high stress environment and a great deal of the time, you can spend 12+ hours and still find yourself with work that needs to be done. The high stress environment creates room for error and when errors happen, the company (not my direct managers) look for a reason/person to blame. This places a lot of pressure on those who make mistakes on brushing any errors under the carpet or blaming someone else, which can create a toxic environment.
