Pros

Compensation is in line with the market. Vision and dental benefits are fully covered

Cons

There is an overemphasis on assigning leadership titles to individuals who do not manage teams and lack the skills for the role, while critical operational roles remain understaffed. It often felt like those at the top were unqualified to make sound decisions, and the company’s direction reflects that. Turnover is extremely high, and it is not hard to see why once you are in it. Leadership lacks diversity. There is talk about inclusion, but it rarely translates into action, and decisions often contradict that message. The culture is top down and disrespectful, with women frequently dismissed or sidelined. Leaders often spoke over employees, creating an environment where voicing ideas could get you labeled difficult or aggressive. While never stated outright, there is a clear expectation to be reachable on weekends and during PTO.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, and as long as you meet performance expectations, bonuses have consistently paid out. Benefits are also great. From my experience, when challenges come up, the teams work together to dig into the root causes and find solutions, which makes it feel like everyone is pulling in the same direction. Employees genuinely care about each other which is not always something that exists in a workplace. Recently, the management team has made some tough but important decisions to let go a number of employees across the organization so that it can put its resources toward the areas of the business where they’re more needed. The company is importantly mission driven but also focused on profitability, since that’s what funds new projects and growth.

Cons

The industry has faced some challenges recently, which led to restructuring. With so many remote employees, the office can feel a little disconnected, though there’s been a clear push to bring more Chicago-based people into the company. Communication hasn’t always been great, but the recent institution of monthly all-hands meetings are helping. It is a smaller company, so there isn't always coverage/overlap on roles.
