Solid company with major growing pains

Pros

Great benefits, lots of room to grow. Constant (sometimes mandatory) overtime available during busy season. Free lunch twice a week and very cheap health insurance.

Cons

Only existing employees are considered for increasingly responsible positions. Your Manager will probably be a "lifer," along with your coaches and everybody up to Rob K. These folks have no outside experience and the result is misguided incestuous mid to lower level management. Grow slow to get it right. Ambitious marketing outpaced reasonable hiring capabilities which trickled down to the other teams like a Reaganomics fever dream. Best quote from busy season: "I am so stressed out, I haven't had a day off in over a week and this is all over (expletive deleted) t-shirts! I WANT MY LIFE BACK!"

Pros

Good-hearted coworkers, eager customers, grounded leaders and a colorful mascot.

Cons

Really the only thing is the extremely fast growth. There's been a lot of overtime. Managers recognize it and they're hiring fast to take off the edge.

I need an adult!

Pros

Very casual work environment. Lots of meetings to check up on your progress toward hitting your targets.

Cons

Most of the people there are in their early to mid 20's - managers included. Lack of maturity and professionalism was a bit of a problem. I didn't really realize how much I'd miss those things until they were absent from the office. When problems arose, we didn't need a friend, we needed a leader - and there was none to be found.
