Pros

-A great, tight-knit team -People in other departments are very open to meeting with you if you're interested in changing roles/teams or just want to meet someone new! -some cool benefits like gym/class pass membership, one-time $500 home office set-up, and a monthly mental health and work-from-home stipend. -We have ERGs now

Cons

-Lack of diversity: Most diversity is found at the associate level. There aren't many POC in team lead, manager, or higher leadership role -Hard to grow: there aren't really any growth paths outside of associate -> team lead -> manager. Also, if your team isn't actively hiring, it's pretty likely that you'll have to move teams/departments to advance. -Favoritism: You can have wildly different experiences with the company depending on the department/team you're in. Especially when it comes to visibility within wider company initiatives and support/resources for your daily workload. -Pay: The pay is not livable for NY ($20-$23), but if you're living in another state, it may be nice. It's also hard to get into a salaried role (easier to make horizontal than vertical career moves). There are no bonuses at the Operations Associate level, only merit increases of $0.50 after a performance review.

Pros

A paycheck. I can honestly find no other pros.

Cons

High performers are looked over for promotions and favoritism is what drives the culture. Horrible work/life balance if you are not management due to the metrics they continue to increase with little to no raises. Benefits slowly getting taken away and "perks" are pretty much non-existent or are limited and cumbersome. Overall the culture is horrible. You feel pressured daily to complete metrics that are unreasonable to ensure you never exceed. Raises are .50 and do not even start to cover inflation or your worth. Both your mental and physical health will suffer. If you think that because Alma is a Mental Health company they will care, I can assure you they don't. Even stated in All Hands meeting "This is not a Mental Health company" when an employee mentioned concern for the culture and their Mental Health. "We are a Health-Tech company".
