Pros

I was immediately welcomed into this organization, unlike any other role I've ever taken before. There is a positive work culture that made me feel confident in my decision to come here, and a supportive nature in the onboarding—one that makes you feel confident in your abilities and build trust with the team. The benefits are great, especially the healthcare coverage! The team members are all dedicated, hardworking, and fun individuals. It makes coming into work easy, which is something everyone strives for in life.

Cons

I could see this organization being too fast-paced for some individuals, especially in the newer markets. Decisions are made and implemented quickly, sometimes without much background information—there is constant change. Although this is done to seek improvement in the organization, it can take a toll on the employees who are trying to find stability and understand the reasoning. There could be more opportunities built in for all team members to work remote more frequently.
