Pros

- Coworkers were smart, fun, and driven - Unlimited PTO (back when I was there) - WFH and ability to work in nearby cafes, shops - Interesting downtown area - Casual dress - Some educational opportunities

Cons

The marketing team, which I was a part of, was treated very poorly when I worked at Avail. I think we had the highest turnover rate at the time because people got out quickly once they saw how things would be. - Management made it clear that the work we did wasn't valued, whether you were an analyst, writer, or email marketer. We'd meet a goal and still get berated. - It was a constant struggle to keep control of marketing efforts and ensure quality work went out. A certain co-founder always had "better ideas" even though we were hired for our content and strategy expertise. - There was a lot of inappropriate behavior from certain higher-ups. Race comments, gender comments, etc. Employees constantly asked them to hire an HR rep. To which they said, "What do you think HR is going to do?" - There was a ton of gaslighting. We'd receive angry emails and comments about an issue for weeks — and then one day management would suddenly say there was no problem and ask why we were so stressed. - Morale was always low. We brought up all these issues time and again. They'd purport to listen and make assurances, but never followed through with changes. I hope things have improved since then, but I couldn't recommend it based on my experience.

Pros

Health insurance was alright, and Payments team did not have to work bank holidays.

Cons

Poor leadership and communication, direct management took credit for ideas and expected team to come up with revenue ideas although that was not required of the department, layoffs happened after leadership bragged how much money was being made and how successful the acquisition was.
