Pros

Some of my co-workers were nice to me.

Cons

NOT worth the free lunch, in fact it isn't really free because it is mandatory to attend quarterly company meetings (Town Hall) in the EVENING that you will not be paid for. So that free lunch is taken back when the company expects you to show up on your own personal time. You will not be paid to waste an evening at least 4 times a year that is held at the downtown library.

We're sorry you didn't find the quarterly All Hands meeting beneficial. We do try to hold the meetings to one hour so we are finished by 6:30 p.m. There have been times, such as the recent employee recognition events, where we've run a little over time. Employee recognition and appreciation are a large part of why we hold the All Hands meetings and the feedback from employees has been very positive. We regret you found the lunch options disappointing.

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 Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be.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.
