Pros

Health benefits are fairly good. Stock options can be useless depending on when you're hired due to peak seasons. Pretty laid back place as a software engineer.

Cons

Management tends to be deceitful. Expected of engineers to work more than 40 hours a week. Project definitions are generally very vague. No documentation for existing systems. Turn over is very high in most departments.

Pros

- One of the most diverse places to work. The overall company culture is great - people are friendly and supportive. Employee recognition is very well managed, which helps keep you motivated and engaged in your work.

Cons

One con is the learning curve associated with the business model. With multiple brands and systems in place, It takes time to fully understand how everything works. Could be addressed with training and inclusivity.

Pros

Work life balance is great-Management respects time and provides the right tools to succeed and actually want to see you succeed. Teams are motivated and genuine. Very happy since starting!

Cons

A good amount of changes recently which can feel uneasy but leadership provides reassurance and outlined plans for each quarter and what the goals are with said changes. 401k matching after a year.
