Pros

None good enough to mention

Cons

Caught in a downward spiral marked by a high turnover, the organization’s top-heavy structure fosters micromanaging and constant scrutiny of work. This leads to a culture where managers resort to yelling, belittling in meetings, and lying. The resulting toxic atmosphere leaves remaining staff overworked and stressed. This toxicity stems from the executive team, creating an uncertain and volatile atmosphere that permeates from senior leadership. Instead of addressing the toxic environment, the company opts to increase the workload for remaining staff, avoiding the expense of hiring more personnel. Steer clear for the well-being of yourself and your family, as working here is detrimental to both one’s career and personal life.

Pros

Compensation is competitive, and as long as you meet performance expectations, bonuses have consistently paid out. Benefits are also great. From my experience, when challenges come up, the teams work together to dig into the root causes and find solutions, which makes it feel like everyone is pulling in the same direction. Employees genuinely care about each other which is not always something that exists in a workplace. Recently, the management team has made some tough but important decisions to let go a number of employees across the organization so that it can put its resources toward the areas of the business where they’re more needed. The company is importantly mission driven but also focused on profitability, since that’s what funds new projects and growth.

Cons

The industry has faced some challenges recently, which led to restructuring. With so many remote employees, the office can feel a little disconnected, though there’s been a clear push to bring more Chicago-based people into the company. Communication hasn’t always been great, but the recent institution of monthly all-hands meetings are helping. It is a smaller company, so there isn't always coverage/overlap on roles.
