Pros

Great leadership, especially during the COVID transition. Really strong business and brand to be selling. Inclusive environment and culture. Fun is prioritized.

Cons

A bit myopic when it comes to our market position. Slow to innovate on product (in Rentals). Sales/Operations tools are disjointed and can make processes inefficient or inflexible. Compensation is really complicated and changes too often. Sales goals/comp somewhat misaligned with company priorities.
