Pros

Solid coworker pool. Pay is at the top end of any industry. The people are what make this place great. Fantastic benefits package: unlimited PTO, good insurance. flexible hours when needed.

Cons

Beware of new marketing leadership and those above them allowing the exodus of great talent. I watched the new CMO single handedly run so much in to the ground since she got here. Firing people who speak out against her (or tell her the truth in many cases) and forcing some of the top talent out based on lies. Its disgusting.

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.

Pros

-Fully remote so can work from home -Work/life balance is great, I never take work stress with me after I log off.

Cons

-Management is unwilling to make changes at times, even when something can be optimized. -Some days can feel like you are overworked due to not enough staff to cover support queues
