Pros

- This is a company that has been on a huge growth curve over the years. Having only a few hundred employees, everybody counts, and everybody has an opportunity to learn rapidly, with lots of opportunity for advancement. - I’ve seen a HUGE transformation in the company culture over the last few years. The executive team is now working much closer together, and are more aligned with the direction of their departments, as well as aligned with the direction of the company. This has positively pushed down to the lower levels of the organization, and has resulted in much better inter-departmental collaboration. - Performance versus politics has much more to do with individual success versus other companies that I have worked at. - The company cares about its employees more so than any other company that I’ve worked for. - Great teamwork - The company makes investments in their people to help them advance their careers internally.

Cons

- Very fast paced environment that requires employees to be able to change direction quickly as needed…as such, this environment will not be good for those that aren’t able to embrace change. - Accountability…again, if you struggle being held accountable for your actions and performance, then this isn’t the company for you. - Inter-departmental visibility. While the company has been improving on this dimension, the employees are currently split between two separate buildings, which makes it more difficult to collaborate with other departments.

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m empowered to make my own decisions without being second-guessed, which allows me to truly drive meaningful change. The team I work with is phenomenal—collaborative, supportive, and passionate. I feel like I’m making a real impact every day and contributing to something that’s scaling in a big way. It’s rare to find a role where you have both autonomy and influence, and I’m grateful to be part of it

Cons

Staffing can be a real challenge. Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be. You wear many hats such as food catering and procurement can be especially demanding in busy seasons. The business is market-driven, the volume swings can be intense. It’s tough to staff appropriately without putting strain on the team. Still, if you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving tough problems, there’s a lot of opportunity here.
