Pros

Flex hours allow you to come in early and leave early (but that won't stop anyone from messaging you during your vacations, time off, or weekends) and the facilities are nice.

Cons

If you enjoy a work/life balance, I advise you look elsewhere. Not only does this job offer as few holidays as legally possible, but they barely honor their own PTO policies. The lack of personal space is honestly ridiculous. Texts, slacks, calls and requests on weekends, evenings, and even holidays. Questions as to what you are using your PTO for are under the guise of conversation but are actually used to spy on employees personal business to check and see if they are leaving or looking elsewhere. And that paranoia is for good reason. After letting go of 8 people without warning early this summer, 16 other people have left on their own fruition. Backhanded comments and condescending leadership are rampant and there is a major lack of checks and balances as leadership consists of friends and family of the owners so any personal problems with how things are run are met with a "boys will be boys" or "if you don't like it, leave". Also, be aware that the employee handbook was revised to include that you will be asked to work beyond your job description "as needed by the team" meaning you will randomly be assigned more than any 1 person's possible bandwidth as the company attempts to avoid additional costs by panning work off on people to the point of exhaustion or to people with no qualifications to do the actual task. Raises, performance reviews, and recognition are few and far in between. While I personally learned a lot in my role, for which I am grateful, company culture is just a facade and things will not improve until leadership starts honoring their employees' skills and expertise and their right to a personal life.
