Pros
I enjoyed an incredible tenure at Beeline where I was able to work my way up through several roles and truly cut my professional teeth there. My departure was only to find a new path after so many years. Some "Pros" to mention over the years: - The culture always gave chances for you to prove yourself and test new waters. If you saw a gap you had a real chance to make a change for the betterment of the company and the customers - Managers that would look out for your well being, both mentally and financially. I earned my roles and my pay over time and didn't have to play HR games to do so. Hard work and the right work was rewarded over time. - Going home on time was a huge part of my area's day to day. Get your processes down to a science and your work efficient across the team so that when it's quitting time and time to play, you can do so with a clear conscience. It also helped you had management backing you up to do so. When exceptions were real exceptions you could count on people pitching in because they also knew it was an exception scenario. Thats real work/life balance. - Being in the home office for a period of time but also remote had its challenges. But communication was constant and opportunities to meet face to face with people was a constant push and for good reason. This was something I appreciated from senior management as well that gave a lot of flexibility. - The # of no BS type people was something I always appreciated. Tell me how it is and what is needed. That mixture and diversity allowed for many things to push forwarded, get completed and a lot more. I know that mixture still exists there even after my departure. Overall I would recommend working there, do your normal homework when interviewing. Make sure you ask the right questions to make sure its the right fit for you and them. But I worked with many leaders and managers there when they were just starting out as well and there is a lot of heart at Beeline. Find it and grow with them.
Cons
Over the years I certainly have a few: - Realizing certain financial decisions have to be made I still feel having more of the company attend the customer conferences each year was a must have. That level of exposure with so many great people in one place its worth the cost in my eyes and after attending many years of them and acquiring many shirts from them I always pushed for more people that hadn't gone to be able to go. Its an employee investment to keep taking advantage of! - Beef that 401k match back up
