Pros

Having worked for AWeber for several years, I absolutely love where this company is right now. I love what we've learned. I love how we handled adversity. I love where we're headed. There was a period where the product, and company as a whole, was not innovating to the level that they desired. It took some time, but the company has really found it's groove. They're releasing new, exciting, and engaging features for their customers, and the business administration continues to try to make AWeber a desired place of employment for both current and prospective employees. The company recently increased the amount of PTO that employees accrue after being employed with the company for a certain amount of years. This change was based on employee feedback, so it says to me that the company continues to listen to it's employees and act on their feedback. I'm really excited to see where this company is in just 2 years. I don't think it will be long before AWeber is back on top as the best email marketing option for most small business owners.

Cons

There are several opportunities for team member growth and development that the company provides; however, some of those opportunities, like dedicated leadership training, are not available all year round due to scheduling and/or team member availability. Where I understand why this occurs, it'd be awesome to have more frequent leadership training opportunities that occur throughout each year.

Pros

The people, the people and the people. The team is what makes this place truly awesome and it's a pleasure working with such bright and passionate people every single day. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of perks working at AWeber but for me it's about the people.

Cons

AWeber is not for everyone. No specific cons however it's a fast paced technology company that is not right for everyone. If you're thinking about joining this team bring your "A" game but ask a lot of questions to make sure your preferred pace is a good match.

Pros

-You will not find a more inclusive environment and incredible people who want to help you grow. -Fast paced work-environment which helps make the days go fast and you're always learning something new. -You can talk about the free lunches all day but the real benefit is getting the chance to socialize with team members in other departments. If you take advantage of that opportunity consistently, you'll learn from passionate smart people and help you develop your career. -Opportunities to learn; AWeber hosts a quarterly meeting of business leaders(forget the name of the organization). If you know about it, ask your managers to attend and learn from other business leaders in the region. Also, the marketing team will host different meet-ups. They typically start at 6 but if you want to be more proficient in digital marketing, go to these every time they happen. If you're interested in Product Development/UX, talk to MeghanN, she works with a meetup group in Philly. She's an awesome person to learn from and the meetups are really informative. -Consistent education opportunities. the CPO will set up and run education to help you grow in multiple skill-sets. This includes Leadership Development, Predictive Index(PI), cultural/personality management. -Career pathing. This is specifically for Customer Service; Once you become proficient in your role, you'll be provided an opportunity to go down a self-driven career path. You are partnered with a mentor in that skill-set and you get the opportunity to learn from wicked-smart people and tuition reimbursement. -Monthly happy hours ensure that you get the opportunity to relax and socialize with your team outside of work. -The company was profitable every year prior and during my tenure. You want job stability? This is the place. **In my 8+ years there, I took full advantage of the networking events, socializing with team members outside of my department and tuition reimbursement. I am now in a leadership position at another software company because of the effort AWeber put into my development and the work I put in to grow myself. If you're dedicated to put in the hard work to be great in your role and work hard to learn more, you can do the same.**

Cons

-At the time I left, we were behind the competitive bell-curve and there was a struggle with product's direction to fill the needs of our clients. From what I've saw in Q4 of 2017, the product looks to be on the right track. 2018 will be a key year to see if that continues. -CEO is a visionary and is clear with direction. However when he starts getting his hands into the day to day, his personality is abrasive. Think Elon Musk but with the social skills of Sheldon Cooper. It comes from his passion for making this company successful but his communication style doesn't jive with the everyone. -As mentioned in the title, this isn't a job for the meek-minded. The one thing I always appreciated from my leaders was that there was a consistent focus on accountability. Expectations were clear and if you weren't meeting them, coaching would be provided but you were always reminded that there was a job to do. Be aware that if you accept a role here, you are expected to perform.
