Pros

There are tons of pros to working at PlanetArt. For starters, the people are just happy. Management does a good job at identifying employee strengths so that each person gets to focus majorly on what they're good at. There is also a ton of diversity - a nice big melting pot of ages and cultures to keep things interesting and ideas flowing. There's a ton of potential for upward mobility, too. I've personally seen numerous people come in as temps or interns and end up being promoted to an area of interest that they are still enjoying years later. Lastly, it's very dynamic. This company is one that started as a software company and has transitioned with the times to include a great print-on-demand business, so they're always looking ahead to see how they can evolve and grow with the times.

Cons

Teams are a bit isolated but the company tries to bring them together with numerous events throughout the year. The fast pace does sometimes make for a full plate, but also ensures you're never bored or not being challenged.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but not many other pros

Cons

The compensation helps offset some of these concerns but it does not fully make up for the overall impact of the concerns below: If work-life balance is important to you be sure to ask detailed questions during the interview process and get specific answers. In my experience the reality of the workload has been very different from what was presented during recruiting. Working late nights multiple times per week is very common and is more so an expectation than an exception. The PTO policy is also below what many companies offer. You start with being able to accrue 10 days per year. You accrue 1 more day per year until you hit 15 days with 5+ years of service. Communication from leadership is inconsistent. Information is often shared late incompletely or not at all. Management structure is another challenge. Regular communication with supervisors can be difficult to maintain. Scheduled meetings are frequently postponed or cancelled creating confusion around priorities and leaves employees without the support needed for success. Not much room for career growth. You will gain skills in your area but you will not move up the company ladder very easily.
