Pros
When I first interviewed with Billhighway aka: Automated Payment Highway, I was skeptical that there could actually be a place that had the kind of culture they talked about with the talented people they claimed to have. I should not have been skeptical. I am doing exactly what I wanted to do when I chose my major in college. I work directly with upper level management and they always value opinions and I have never heard of a CEO that values input and opinions and have stressed for people to voice theirs as much as Vince. I will say though--it is a very work hard, play hard environment. My salary is definitely above average with great benefits, a 401k, a charitable volunteer program (you are able to take 2 days a year on top of your regular PTO to go volunteer at a nonprofit of your choice). We are a team of overachievers at Billhighway, expectations are very high and if you are looking for a job with strict hours and no going above and beyond then it may not be a good fit for you. However, going above and beyond is almost always recognized, it is a very important part of our culture. I also LOVE that it is a casual dress environment, which is awesome! The best aspect is that everyone there understands you have a life outside of the company, if you need to leave early or come in late because of a doctors appointment or your kid is sick--there is no issue because everyone knows you will still get your work done and you will do it well. Salaried employees in the company receive 20 days of PTO, 7 work from home days, 2 paid days of volunteer time (if you want to take it.) I love coming to the office--my biggest fear after college graduation was that I was not going to have a purpose in my job and would dread coming to work. Thankfully, this did not come true!
Cons
For more experienced professionals, the 20 days of PTO may be a con because the days don't roll over to the next year. However, for younger, less experienced professionals 20 days PTO is awesome.
