Pros

Flexibility is great. Management is great. I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the headquarter office. The perks are fun - pop up surprises, company cookouts, etc. great benefits. Amazing training.

Cons

Heavy workload. Low pay rate in comparison to similar companies. Difficult for quick advancement. Lots of overlap with the different jobs with no clear guidelines.

Pros

PTO comparable to other companies

Cons

Very high turnover. Poorly defined and documented processes and procedures. Processes and systems do not allow for efficient documentation of pertinent information and action, which leads to repeat requests, reinventing the wheel and upset customers.

Pros

Good culture, easy to form and maintain relationships. Work was sometimes dynamic

Cons

Management was very bad at giving feedback. Did not receive any critical or negative feedback until managers eventually approached me. Because of this, promotions and raises were not appropriately given. Management needs to stop trying to be our friends and work on building our careers.
