Pros

Free food and that’s it

Cons

The company is manic. I understand shifting priorities. There is no thought put into the priorities. You are expected to immediately drop everything for the shift, but then asked why you didn’t complete the other task 3 months later, when you were told that’s no longer an area of focus. High Senior Level Management micromanages. They have no trust in their managers. Favoritism is rampant. If you’re not yes man you’re considered the enemy. The recruiting team will bring in anyone for an interview and expect managers to meet 7-10 candidates for the same position, again there is no thought process there. The is absolutely no onboarding process or policy/procedures in place. Founders speak about transparency and communication but I’ve yet to experience that. How do you have a company with no real HR??? There’s a benefits person and recruiting. That speaks volumes about what they care about.

Pros

I’m drawn to the company’s culture and its emphasis on flexibility. The starting salary is also quite reasonable.

Cons

They want you to move out of state to get promoted, the type of people they hire for management positions are questionable, raises are limited, and it’s extremely sales focused. Full of lazy people. If you aren’t a seller, good luck.
