Pros

Your income directly reflects your work ethic. To people like me that get completely turned off by tenure based promotions and pay scales this is a revelation. If you want to come in and do the minimum required to keep your job you will probably not ever get quite comfortable. You need to raise the bar or eventually you will get passed up. This makes for an exciting environment with new ideas flying all over the place. And the best part about it is, if you have a great idea and show the ability to make it become a reality you have the opportunity to own it and see it all the way through no matter how long you've been here. There are great parties, free beer on Fridays, great perks and an incredibly friendly and personable staff. When I first got hired I was blown away with how accessible my leadership was and how willing to help everyone around me was. Pay is competitive for the area to start, but the ability to make more is out there for anyone that wants to take it.

Cons

You need to separate yourself with your production. If you don't like starting at an entry level position (in most cases) and proving yourself you may have a tough time.

Pros

This is my favorite company I have worked for by far. Not only is it a high energy atmosphere, but the management and leaders in the organization are great people. Many of those I work with have become family, and have become a great support group. The encouragement to bring out your full potential is there for those who will take it- but it's up to you to grab it. The values of the company go all the way to the top, where although the CEO is making boatloads of money- he is still one of the most down to Earth nice people you will ever get the pleasure of speaking with. I have never felt so motivated to become a better person, not only for myself-but for the company.

Cons

There are only cons if you let it be that way.

Pros

After reading other reviews I had to shed some light here. Yes, it's a 'new' and 'young' company, but the opportunity for career growth is endless. We are growing so quickly it's hard to keep up, and the pressure of that is on every department/position in the company. But who would complain about that?! If you have an idea go make it happen. That's my absolute favorite part about working here. Everyone is always super busy with what they have going on but everyone's 'door' is open. I have taken many ideas to different people to find they have been tried or even failed in the past, but it's always been awesome to hear why things did or didn't work for that time, and brainstorm if it makes sense to try again. Even if you are in sales and have a Marketing or Sodev idea, they welcome the input! You champion your idea from start to finish which can be really hard, especially if you don't know where to start, but the end result is so much more rewarding!

Cons

It's busy!! Wait...that's a con? Nope!
