Pros

Company is incredibly healthy, with a great runway and lean approach. If you're worried about "Startups" and job security, they don't come with a bootstrapped foundation stronger than this. Tons of growth potential -- whether that be in your own role or learning new skills. I've seen employees find their best fit department over time. Work with some of -the- most talented people. Be challenged every day to be better. I have a bad habit of rising or falling to expectations, and I've never felt like I wasn't expected to be my best ( and rewarded for that). Competitive commission structure. Customer-centric culture across all departments makes you feel good about what you do.

Cons

I think every employee everywhere sees themselves having a "lazy day" in their job from time to time. You just aren't feeling it, want to put the mental crockpot on simmer and coast to 5 o'clock. That is incredibly human and normal. At StoragePug? You are given this wealth of days off ( 34, including the 9 holidays) with no real restrictions on when to use them. You would want to use one of these that day instead of pretending to be productive. Use your time to pull into the mental pit-stop and disconnect for the day, officially, as opposed to pretending.

Hey hey! Thanks for taking the time to jot down your thoughts. We're constantly finding new ways to do things better as a startup. Things like compensation and benefits can be hard at first. We certainly did not lead the pack in those departments in the early days, but we're extremely optimistic about the direction of our comp plans. With your help extending the "runway," we're finding new ways to reinvest in the success and health of all existing and future Pugs. I'm thankful to get to work with you. Let's make it happen together. With great joy, Tommy Nguyen

Not a con for everyone, but I just wasn't built for in-office work. If you are- this is a great spot.

Pros

Coming from a global corporation to a startup was a bit daunting at first, but StoragePug has an amazing support team and I immediately felt welcomed and valued. I thought 'great culture' was code other companies used to cover up their downfalls, but not here. It's real and it's great. I've never been around as many genuine, caring, intelligent (mentally and emotionally) people who really do share the goal of helping this place succeed. We work 7 hours days and I almost feel guilty for taking my laptop home. Work life balance is the expectation, not just a catchy phrase.

Cons

After 6 months, I haven't been able to find any yet.
