Pros

I left a dead-end retail job to come work at BambooHR. I am on the Customer Service team which often times makes people grimace and give you their condolences, but not so with Bamboo; the company is like one big family and regardless of your role, you feel valued and important. Ben and Ryan (the founders of the company) are AMAZING to work with. They are friendly and make an effort to get to know everyone personally. The company is honest and provides awesome benefits. Our PTO perks are amazing. I didn't realize how much fun working could be. :)

Cons

Some separation between the in-office employees and the remote employees.

Pros

The biggest pros for me come down to the Founders. Leadership starts at the top and they were open and candid with me through the hiring process and that same candor has continued after joining the team. They are smart, capable, and care about their employees. Bamboo preaches work/life balance and they mean it. They offer some unique benefits like, starting in 2015 (and after 6 months of employment), you can be reimbursed for up to $2k in vacation expenses. They just want you to bring a picture back to share with Bamboo of your adventures. :-) Working in sales most companies often overstate what you will make their first year. Ben (the CEO) gave me a figure that I could reach during my interview. He said that if I "worked my tail off" I would probably be in a certain range...I am happy to say he actually undersold the potential. I will exceed it by about 1/3 and only see the potential growing.

Cons

Health insurance is new to Bamboo this year and they started with a high deductible health plan. I know they will continue to improve in this area but for the time being we have to use my wife's insurance.
