Pros

Management watches these reviews like a hawk. I think they want to give the appearance that Buzz Points isn't a bad place to work so that they can a) continue to hire new bodies to replace those that have left or b) continue to pay below market wages. These are my opinions.

Cons

Management thinks that they are so smart that they can get away with anything. Look at the dates of negative reviews. Normally within a few days, a very different positive review comes up. The pattern is so plain. Knowing the management, I believe they are writing the positive reviews themselves in order to keep their overall ratings up. This lack of integrity is exactly why I left.

Pros

Super work/life balance. Even with ambitious goals and expectations, this is best work/life balance I've ever had. Company mission and purpose is something you can be proud of! Makes it easier to work hard when you know your efforts are helping small, mom-and-pop business owners and community banks/credit unions (instead of the evil megabanks!). Empowerment. If you show initiative and competency, you're giving room to spread your wings and make an impact. Momentum. A year ago the company was in a different state. Kudos for recognizing this and putting serious energy and sincere dedication to turn around both the process/work issues and the culture issues. Location! Steps from great Green Belt access. (Sweet!) Plenty of lunch/happy hour options nearby. And downtown is a quick jaunt when heading there.

Cons

Amenities aren't great. Were the desks found in a yard sale? While I like (and prefer) the bulk of money invested in other areas with legit ROI, a bit more could be done to spruce up the physical environment we spend so much time in. Equipment. Not exactly top of the line equipment. Legacy issues. There were a lot of problems a year+ ago that still wreak havoc with our processes. Though....actually, this is more of a pro now, now that I think about it. It's pretty awesome seeing the progress and being part of righting the ship in visible, tangible ways.
