Cons
None so far! Exponential growth start up
Pros
The benefits package for the employee is good, includes dental and vision and a good match on 401K. Health care is provided, tends to change often depending on rates, but there are some option. Is expensive to add on a spouse or child, however. Work life balance is good, you don't get contacted when on vacation or at home. Work largely stays at the office. Like with any company, they employ a couple good people within the company that are dependable and care about their colleagues.
Cons
The culture of the company is absolutely rooted in false-positivity and passive aggressiveness. No one in the company takes responsibility or is held accountable, management is not trained to manage, no true HR department, conflicting work duties, day-to-day operations management is not there, no structure, revolving door or employees with proper training on the industry not there, employees are held to different standards/some departments and employees are allowed to get away with a lot while others get hung out to dry. The company does not have a concept of what to pay employees to retain, which makes certain departments a revolving door. Not staying up with industry standards, looking to hire people with degrees at a minimum salary and load them up with industry knowledge just to lose them in 6 months. Always an overload of work, but not a good balance of spreading around duties. Quality of work suffers. Very frustrating and demoralizing place to work, which is not immediately evident. A lot of employees feel trapped and are looking for a way out.
Pros
My manager was amazing. She was the best manager I have ever had. I was given constructive criticism very politely and she pretended care about me. I know that other people in the company did not have the same experience with her. The upper management worked with me temporarily with some schedule changes but nothing permanent. The job was very consistent day in and day out. Expectations were explained and I learned something new every day. I was never micromanaged which was a breath of fresh air. The training did take about a year to get comfortable. Being able to flex my schedule +- 2 hours a day is very nice when something comes up. Very casual environment. work/life balance is good. No one EVER gets contacted outside of work.
Cons
Severely underpaid for market value of this job. Something like $15K below what you should be making according to LinkedIn. So unless you have a second job or a significantly greater income in the house, it’ll be tough. Raises are minimal. Unpaid maternity leave. Management seems to make exceptions for some people but not others. Unless you are very aggressive in asking for what you want, you won’t be able to lateral move departments. This is a VERY small company so there are few places to go. The company protects the people who make the most money for it, at all costs. My manager was very rude and condescending at times to other employees.
