Not for the ambitious

Pros

Great benefits and fun work environment. Extremely family friendly.

Cons

Very limited upward mobility, the company grows very slowly so there is little to no room for advancement out of middle management. The founder's brother in law is also the company president and all of their kids and spouses work at the company. The nepotism is very evident. ETC has a very socialist approach to benefits and pay, which is admirable, but it presents a ceiling to pay and limits pay to value for employees as there just isn't enough money to pay people what they're worth. ETC also starts to feel a little cult-like because of the strong presence of the founder and the longevity of the average employee. If you don't completely buy into the image of a fun and whimsical company you will feel like an outsider.

Pros

Some departments have good leaders who back their employees and have their best interest in mind.

Cons

In my personal experience, I had three jobs at ETC as I moved up from a summer hire to full time employment. I had a pretty good experience until I got my final position at the company as an administrative assistant. Administrative Assistants are treated very poorly at ETC and are treated as "less than" every other department they assist. Personally, I experienced two managers who talked poorly to other employees to me and about me, as well as assume the worst of their employees. One of them sits at their desk in the mornings an watches for their notifications go to off signaling when one of their employees has logged on. I know there are many people who have had good experiences at ETC, but there is an almost equal amount of people who have had bad experiences there, and no one ever speaks out about the bad.
