Pros

- The ability to grow your experience handling different areas of practice (project management, architectural solutions, service support, etc.) - casual dress code - Willing to pay for additional training and certification - Positive culture. I can't express this enough. I have some great coworkers that over complicate my job. There are client project struggles, as in any place, but the people here keep it positive are motivated to do great things. - I've seen posts from previous employees that give a negative outlook. In my short time here, I've seen it's easy to be negative when you have an axe to grind. Truth is the managers are good people, they provide support and feedback. This is a boutique practice, so it's not a place you can come in, hide in the corner and just get by while you cash a check. You're expected to contribute. It took me a while to find my rhythm, but they were supportive through the process and the managers welcome initiative and creative input.

Cons

- Like any small practice, they have to stay competitive with salary, especially when larger companies have the resources to pay more. It looks like they do their best to be competitive.

Pros

- Supportive, People-First Culture - Emphasis on Work/Life Balance - Collaborative and Solution-Oriented Environment - Opportunities for Professional Development - Comprehensive Benefits Package There are really a lot of great reasons to work at Motiv but #1 is the culture. It's clear from day 1 that the Executive Team prioritizes the well-being of its employees and strives to create an enjoyable and engaging work environment.

Cons

There's honestly little I would change about Motiv. Like any company, it's not perfect, but they actively work on improving any issues that arise.
