Pros

The snack game is on point. Can't argue with that one. For the most part, coworkers are fantastic human beings. Remote first company Company is doing very well financially

Cons

Leadership suffers from a severe lack of attention to detail, direction, and the ability to engage in self-reflection. We have hired an inordinate amount of people that are not interested in learning how this business functions, whose sole goal is to politic, increase pressure, and prove their worth in way that is harmful to those who work under them. The promotional structure here is non-existent. It is dependent not on the merits of the work that you do, but more on the ability one has to cozy up to their superiors. The pay is severely under market, and while the snacks are good, there is no amount of (mediocre) birthday cookies that can make up for the fact that affording to live while working here is a challenge. The pressure at this company starts at the very top. We are asked to do the impossible on a daily basis. Middle management is aware of this, but lack the spines to tell leadership. This company has unfortunately created a culture of distrust. At one time you could have a conversation with leadership about your concerns, but it doesn't seem like anyone is too interested in that these days.

Pros

If you're FT, benefits are substantially better than many other companies and the job is fully remote. Most employees are very nice people and figure out ways to help each other.

Cons

I speak mostly for the marketing department: The work culture here used to be decent and team-oriented but since the company has been acquired by private equity, everything went downhill. People were replaced despite the previous hires were doing fine. Some contractors were loyal to the brand for years but were passed up for new hires and less qualified individuals. The only people who benefit are execs and directors. I do advise any current employees not to trust certain execs as nepotism is rampant and they're known to lie to your faces. It's awkward especially when the company has in-person off-site meetings every year to discuss efforts and team-building while making you feel important but at the end of the day, you will be let go due to hard times. It's been a known vicious cycle that occurs around every 2-3 years. There's no doubt that many people are diligent, hard workers who are committed to their work but the decisions being made are never transparent and never to benefit lower-rung employees. There is also a lot of fluff and job titles that need not to exist. It won't surprise me that the good benefits this company once had will start being cut to save costs to experiment on short-term trends, pointless transitions and useless middle-man positions.
