Pros

My Director is a great person

Cons

The base salary is absolutely terrible. When you compare $45,000.00 to other salaries in our space, it’s in the bottom 1%. ABILITY likes to say they are a “performance based organization,” which is a coward's way of hiding behind the fact they don’t place any value on experience and skill-set. They constantly espouse wanting employees to gain greater exposure to the organization, through promotion, and openly encourage applying for other positions; however, everyone at ABILITY knows that management has already decided who they want to hire, before the job has been posted.

Pros

Beautiful environment to work in. Great downtown location on the bus lines. Free soda, coffee, and fruit. Casual dress. All of the people in the company are awesome - smart but very friendly and helpful. I worked for ABILITY for 3.5 years, specifically in the Marketing Department. The employees in the Marketing department are amazing - incredibly smart, forward thinking, helpful and fun. I felt that we all cared about each other and had each other's backs. The VP of Marketing, John Porricolo (who I reported to the majority of my career there) was honestly the best boss I ever had. He encouraged me to grow as an employee and as an individual, and he believed in my talents and abilities. When I doubted myself he would encourage me - this allowed me to learn many new things and see what I was capable of. I learned SO much in my time at ABILITY - skills and knowledge that I am now applying at my new job.

Cons

ABILITY is a company going through a huge growth phase. They are in that "awkward" stage of going from a small company to a large one, so they are in the process of putting procedures and workflows solidly into place. Things move quickly, and can sometimes feel hectic, chaotic, or disorganized, but it's also really exhilarating and fun. You are never bored and there is rarely a dull moment! I believe the growth will also allow for opportunities to grow/move up in the company in the future.
