Pros
The mission of the company to serve churches with smart communications and database tools remains solid, and the people who work here are outstanding - each person genuinely strives for growth in virtue and personal excellence.
Cons
The biggest con is salary compensation – it was presented often that Flocknote was a company wanting to support healthy families, so a person working here could expect to eventually support a spouse and children on a single income if they so desired. However, in reality, only software engineers and the leadership team can ever feasibly do so. This, paired with Happiness Engineers having a *very* loose job description, no clarity of expectation for yearly pay raises and bonuses, an internal list of required duties long enough to fill 2-3 full-time positions (all within a "35-hour work week"), and having sabbaticals or parental leaves adversely affect those pay raises/bonuses, makes for a very disappointing realization when a loyal employee spends years waiting for such promises to come to fruition. Leadership seems overly idealistic for what they believe ought to motivate employees, refusing to accept that non-monetary benefits are a nonstarter when Happiness Engineer base salary is embarrassingly below market rate for people doing a fraction of the work with less experience at other companies. I wanted to be a Flocknote lifer, truly. But I stopped being able to believe that sufficient pay was on the horizon, and I wasn't willing to have my family's long-term well being suffer in the meantime.
