Pros
Some of the kindest people you’ll ever want to meet. Fellow employees want to help you succeed. Positive brand association in public. Sometimes HR/management surprises us with a kind gesture (day off for voting recently, a “drive thru” holiday lunch because of COVID)
Cons
That gross building. Low pay and ungodly expensive health insurance—if you’ve got a spouse or a family, better have Obamacare on speed dial. Big promises/talk, small action/results. Innovation is a four-letter word. Shocking how possible it is to fail up there. No matter how much or little is in the bank, there’s *NEVER* any money for it. ESPECIALLY after a wildly successful pledge drive where we make 30-40% over our goal. These clowns wrote the BOOK on cutting corners. No matter what’s the question, “No” is the answer. Sometimes advancement feels like a game of Bingo! Weird fetish for hiring managers with zero public media experience—luckily there are some amazing people in every department who keep the place afloat despite that fact.
