Pros

Not able to provide any.

Cons

This truly is a company ran by cynical people with zero morals and no clue how to legally run a business. Investing your time into Ripe will only take a stressful toll on you and can undoubtedly steer you away from your personal goals and ambition. They have not had a consistent full team last longer than 1 year since the time they’ve opened and it’s no coincidence. Threatening employees with law enforcement at any given moment, disorganized work structure, staff getting paid under the books, and a terrible hierarchical system are only minor disadvantages of this company. Ben Huffman, Ripe’s CEO, is the epitome of don’t throw stones if you live in a glass home, taking many of his past employees to court for personal gain, ego, spite, and privilege while he initiates even more heinous acts. Working with the individuals at this company will be a constant battle if you are simply an ethical being, as sweeping their problems under the rug and making others pay for their mistakes are the base of their foundation. They care more about keeping a good image rather than being actual good people, and have even gone as far as writing their own positive reviews on Glassdoor to make themselves look better than they really are. Be very mindful before getting involved with this company, it can easily become the worse decision you’ve made all year.

Pros

Ripe is the most positive, motivating and fulfilling place to work. I have been part of the Ripe team for one year now and every single day I am excited to go to work. I have become very good friend with all my peers at Ripe and the energy at the office, is like nowhere I've ever worked before. Our CEO encourages each and everyone of us to achieve the goals we set out to achieve, allowing for plenty of personal growth potential. Each employee is given an Equinox membership at the location of their choice and we are provided with the delicious and healthy Ripe food for breakfast, lunch and sometimes even dinner!

Cons

Just like every start up things can be chaotic. I happen to like the chaotic energy of a startup, I find it energizing and exciting. However I do know this is not for everyone. There is a lot of hands on work, hustling and moving parts.
