Pros

Incredible people work there and there are some really inspiring upper executives. Direct managers do their best to inspire despite the obvious drawbacks of the company. I believe that things could turn around and be ok, but a lot needs to be done within the company (and that's not just referring to the actual business) to get the company culture and morale back to the incredible level it was.

Cons

There is no where to go. Constant negative media attention obviously brings down morale, but plans to incentives retention focus on basic concepts of "free lunch" and mini prizes. There is no inspiring plan to incentivize operations employees to weather the storm. Why would someone continue to work there when almost any other company can add a more comfortable environment?

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
