Pros

Your team makes coming to work really fun, and the mission is easy to get behind. Benefits were once okay (not unique compared to other local companies) and perks for home office employees were great (they no longer exist post-covid). Fun events if your manager let you attend. Some learning opportunities especially if you were in a leadership role.

Cons

The family and executives have treated employees terribly during this pandemic. They have all but forgotten about most of them except to tell them their furlough was extended OR to request them to volunteer. The pay has been low for pretty much all roles even before covid so I can only imagine how bad it will be after the pandemic. The company claims they are one team and a family but when crisis hit, it was the family and inner circle who were cared for and treated with any respect.

Pros

Working here has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The leadership team goes out of their way to provide guidance, remove obstacles, and genuinely invest in people’s success. I feel trusted to own my work, make strategic decisions, and bring new ideas forward. The culture is a standout. Collaboration is real here, not just a buzzword. Cross‑functional teams communicate well, respect each other’s expertise, and work together toward shared goals. Professional development is another major plus. I’ve been encouraged to pursue training and opportunities that align with my long-term goals. Day to day, the work is fast‑paced and genuinely interesting—from developing strategic partnerships to helping shape long-term business direction. If you thrive in an environment where your contributions matter and your voice is heard, this is an excellent place to be.

Cons

Fast-paced environment may not be for everyone, but it keeps things exciting

Pros

Great teammates, made working for the company bearable.

Cons

Constantly being overworked and underpaid, work life balance is non-existent. New hires come in making significantly more than the people who’ve been there for years. Good luck on getting a promotion, they only promote their favorites. You get sold you on the idea of a growing company, creating change and bring new ideas to the table, but it couldn’t be further from the truth, no real interest in changing even when it could save them time and money. Leadership only cares about getting to a billion dollars in revenue and they don’t care how they get there, or who they lose along the way. Health insurance is insanely expensive, can’t afford it only making minimum wage. Travel credits and Bonuses are an insult, less and less credits each year even tho they’re making more money than ever! Oh yeah, and HR leadership is a JOKE!
