Pros
I have worked at Hip2Save for many years and can honestly say there is no other place I'd rather work. The people behind Hip2Save are what make it such a unique and special company. Every single team member treats Hip2Save as if it is their own company - they are passionate, kind, supportive, fun and they truly love what they do. It often feels like I am coming to work with some of my best friends. I am also so proud to support the mission of Hip2Save - helping ordinary people with ordinary budgets live an extraordinary life. The emails and comments from readers who have clearly been impacted by this mission are so heart warming and inspiring. I also really enjoy working remotely - I cannot imagine having to physically go into an office every day. Finally, I appreciate all the benefits that the company provides. As an employee, Hip2Save covers 100% of my health insurance (huge perk in my opinion!) and every person on the team has a Freshbenies membership paid for by Hip2Save giving me access to Behavioral Telehealth with $0 copay per session (and this benefit is available for my entire family!).
Cons
Because we all work remotely and because we are a small team, we wear many hats and can sometimes work many hours. One of the biggest struggles for me is to ensure I maintain a work-life balance and really disconnect during my off-time-off. Another negative is the fact that it is all hands on deck during Q4 and especially during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday - there are no vacations granted during this time and the work-life balance can be especially difficult during this time.
