Pros

The best aspect of working here is the company's emphasis on work-life balance and the overall work environment. Colleagues are mutually supportive, sociable, and easy going. It makes for a pleasant 8-5 experience and I would even say it feels like a family. There are several annual events and department outings throughout the year and great benefits-- lots of PTO!

Cons

The trajectory for career growth is not promising for an entry level employee. While the company offers regular trainings and holds skills-building or team-building workshops, there is little room for promotions as middle and upper management are all pretty set. It seemed like those holding entry level positions could be promoted to 'senior' level versions of their roles, however there was very little difference between the salaries of those junior vs senior employees.

Pros

The best part of AppFolio is its people. I absolutely love everyone on my team and the positive work environment.

Cons

Although the atmosphere is great, the compensation is lacking. There isn't any form of pay structure, review system, and it seems that raises only come with position changes. Post-IPO life is also quite different.

So glad to hear you love your team and the positive work environment - this is so important and is a key element to loving your job. It sounds like you feel that you've really delivered a lot of value to the business in your current role. I've seen the career paths, documentation and presentations that illustrate what it takes to earn a new opportunity in the company - I recommend you take the time to reflect on the skills you've developed and your accomplishments and match those to the career growth opportunities that exist today. If this is challenging to do on your own it can be a great exercise with your manager - be candid, positive and fact-based about what you've accomplished and ask for a better understanding of what it takes to grow into more responsibility here at AppFolio.

So glad to hear you've gained some valuable experience in your role. Customer Success is typically the first job right out of college and is the perfect way to build important skills that you will carry with you throughout your career - communication, problem-solving, task management, teamwork and leadership are just a few examples of the types of skills developed while working on the front lines supporting our customers. That said, career growth takes time and sometimes doesn't come as quickly as you might hope for. I encourage you to take ownership of your own career, evaluate the skills you've built and match them to concrete examples of your accomplishments, work with your manager to understand which skills you can develop to grow your career and to earn another position or promotion in the company. If you feel you aren't getting enough help from your direct manager, please feel free to reach out to the Director or VP of Client Services (one of the Mikes). We have so many examples of team members who have are motivated to do the work to earn career growth and would love to help you on that path.
