      Pros

      Great culture. Good management. People really love coming to work. The company is always striving to improve their processes to provide a better end user experience.

      Cons

      Climbing up the career ladder can be a little slow at times. Hiring time can also be slow. For the most part a pretty smooth experience.

      Great Company, but New Supervisor Could be a Little More on Top of It...

      Pros

      -Amazing benefits for people who are full-time -Great environment -Great people -Great Cafe -Free food and drinks -Random parties -Fun activities -Free yoga (for those who are full-time? not sure) -Great Cause

      Cons

      -I wish I could get full-time work, but I'm working on that. -The newest supervisor over the morning shift is not the most professional or the most on top of things at times, but other than that, he's awesome. For example, I was promised a raise after my 90 day review---It's been 7 months and still no 90 day review or raise in sight, and I've asked him, others, and the people above him multiple times. So, not sure whose fault that is, but yeah, it's frustrating because every penny counts for my family right now.
