Pros

Great benefits package with stock options. Very flexible when it comes to time off. Offers great networking opportunities

Cons

You're overworked and underpaid considering all you have to do. Have to wear multiple hats and constantly do things outside of your job role. Eventually you'll hit a glass ceiling in terms of promotion. Has too much of a cult-like environment

Pros

-Many team members are working hard trying to hold onto what was good and support each other. - Most members have interesting businesses. - Free beer and food (for when you work 12-16hrs) - You can say you were a part of a international powerhouse (before it crashes) - Good career advancement (because of the high turnover lots of positions open up all the time)

Cons

-You will have to work 55-65 hours a week without lunch breaks, additional compensation, or even a thank you. - 10 hour days at the buildings and 3-4 nights a week for internal and external sales events. -Make no mistake - this is a corporate real estate sales job. They will feed you lines about a grand mission of the company but the only thing that drives decisions is making sure we hit sales goals and keep our high valuation. -Fear based management style where your job is threatened for infractions ranging from not hitting numbers, missing a number in a spreadsheet, or having an opinion -All departments are understaffed and overworked so it takes a long time to resolve issues. -The buildings are cheaply put together leaving major construction, operational, and maintenance issues for the Community Team to resolve. - Expanding too quickly so teams end up competing with each other which has shifted the dynamic of the entire team. Instead the team members have to protect their own butts. - very high turnover - Check out the multiple articles on lawsuits and financials to get a clearer picture of where this company is headed.

Pros

they give the appearance of caring about employees by providing food, social hours , etc. the product is top notch

Cons

The CEO and most of the leadership team use the company as their own playground. Rampant abuses of the support staff such as being expected to work 15+ hours a day. All done under the guise of work hard play hard .
