Pros
I have been working for PlanetArt for 4+ years in multiple departments and have worked under different types of managers. And there was one thing that was consistent throughout. It was our executive team and I have witnessed how they grew the company at an accelerated rate and at the same time really worked with their peoples in accomplishing many feats for the company to do so. In my book that kind of commitment and leadership is truly amazing. They also really believed in me when I was down and really brought me up when I started performing well. Many companies wouldn’t do this especially one of this size, in the end it is the people who believe in you even when mistakes are made. Another huge pro are the people you work with. They get into the trenches with you and really battle with you throughout the year, especially in the 4th quarter. This really builds a form of comradery that will stay with you over the years. The company also did well during covid when transitioning people over into remote work and also slowly bringing them back when quarantine was lifted. This shows that the company definitely cares about the well-being of their employees. I truly believe I am one of the success stories in this company and if I can do it anyone else can.
Cons
Your work life balance sometimes may come into jeopardy during certain periods of time and of course you have your amazing bosses and your mediocre bosses, but you would expect that in any job.
