Pros

There are a lot of friendly people so it isn't hard to make friends and be social outside the office. You get to be involved in sports all day Brand new and exciting industry

Cons

The CEO is rude, abrasive and the least inspiring leader I have ever worked with. All he cares about is his inner circle of friends who all happen to be Aussies. The more time you spend here the more you realize this guy is way over his head. The inner circle leads to a lot of high school drama around who gets invited to events and such. This drama leaks out to normal employees and you can't help but laugh at the ridiculous of it all. This is supposedly a billion dollar publicly listed company but the CEO runs it like its a privately run small business. Absolutely no professionalism. The unofficial second in command, who happens to naturally be the CEOs best bud and of course an Aussie, is another one way over his head and I think he knows it. He makes up for that by getting involved in every minor detail across all departments, except for legal, Hr & finance (and no surprise those 3 departments are the least chaotic). Unfortunately he is completely untouchable and nothing will ever change while he is basically running the show. You can't doubt his passion but he is more of a liability than an asset. No culture whatsoever. Management couldn't care less about keeping employees happy. This results in high turnover of staff which management spin to blame the employees leaving. Below average pay, average PTO and hours are insane for the lack of compensation. No strategy whatsoever - they literally slap sport team logos, league logos, pictures of one of the 10 brand ambassadors on advertising and assume that will magically bring in customers. When that doesn't work everyone doubles down ("well we just need to use those logos more!!") on what they have been doing. This all results in market share being abysmal in every state the business launches in.
