Pros

Company is fast paced and growing quickly. Challenging work environment. If you work in HR or Marketing, please ignore the cons below as they do not apply to you.

Cons

Unattainable deadlines are given with limited resources. Forget work/life balance. Expect 12 hour days with work on weekends in order to attempt to meet the deadlines. No gratitude will be shown for your additional efforts.

Thank you for this feedback. Working at a high performance organization is never dull! We set the bar high and our employees never cease to exceed it. We make a point of recognizing and rewarding success but we understand at times the rapid evolution of our business may be challenging to manage. There are times where all of us will need to put in extra hours to accomplish a common goal, however, employees should know they are always empowered to determine how their personal and professional lives integrate.

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
