Pros

Good pre-program training. Capable startup coaching. Lots of vendor resources.

Cons

Expensive. They will come after you if your business fails (the worst feeling ever). They'll gladly let you die without support after holding your hand and hugging you as your purchasing and signing their contracts. They only accept owners who have assets so they can come after your nest egg if your business has to close.

Pros

The pace is fast, but the teams are competent enough to keep up with it. You're moving quickly alongside smart people, not scrambling to keep things together. Leadership is excellent and clearly sets the tone for how the broader organization operates. The culture stands out. People are kind and engaged in a way that feels real, not performative. The brands in the portfolio are strong, which makes the work easy to get behind. Comp is competitive and the operational infrastructure is already there. For anyone who wants to move fast and actually get things done, it's a great environment.

Cons

As with any growing company, some systems are still being built out and aren't fully functional yet. There are many on the team who are relatively new, and the pace is fast, so there's an element of building the plane while flying it. However, this is an opportunity to have ownership and accountability for growth.
