Pros

Flexibility to work remotely and support small companies across CA There is an incredible amount of professional freedom here. If you are a self-starter, you can essentially pitch, design, and run your own projects to support small businesses.

Cons

Senior leadership currently lacks a cohesive, long-term strategic plan. Instead of focusing, they frequently launch a high volume of new initiatives without the proper roadmap to support them in the long run. This can make the organizational direction feel erratic and reactive, and for example they recently "acquired" an AI company. There has been significant tension at the very top. Last year, two C-suite executives resigned specifically due to fundamental disagreements with the CEO. One was near retirement and chose to leave rather than finish out their career under the current regime, which speaks volumes about the internal friction.
