Pros

Ability to move fast and make big changes with minimal oversight. The company's mission of helping independent Asian businesses is noble and there are people who really believe in it at the company. Health coverage is standard and acceptable, employer covers 70% of employee and 35% of dependents.

Cons

Significantly below market compensation. No real opportunity for growth because there are no formal titles or salary bands, so nothing to benchmark against. Overall benefits package is weak, they have no Life or AD&D coverage and the 401k doesn't match. The biggest con, though, is the company's truly ineffectual leadership. The CEO has surrounded himself with yes-men (and they are almost entirely men). CFO and CTO are the two other executives, the COO is on his way out as well even though he was the only one with any real experience running an operationally demanding business. The company has a tendency to reverse major strategic decisions back and forth over the course of weeks. Leadership allows the regional teams to run as independent franchisees which has led to a lot of shady and borderline illegal business practices. Anyone trying to fix this centrally is actively discouraged from putting controls and process on local operations by the executives. They make decisions about product and new business verticals with no forethought or research and don't take the time to listen to employees with experience to implement these things properly. All in all, the company takes advantage of it's employees to the nth degree. Stay away.
