Pros

Lots of opportunity to own big projects and tackle tough problems. Sezzle's mission and vision are attractive (until you realize it's only smoke and mirrors). B Corp attracts a lot of talent; however, they've peeled back on all of spending and initiatives (and would no longer qualify for B Corp as they would not meet the points required, I'm surprised they are still claiming they are). They were improving benefits and benefits offerings but given the company is struggling, this won't be sustainable.

Cons

CEO & Founders have too much power and surrounds himself with yes people. Bro culture and a culture of favoritism. They've blamed the market instead of taking responsibility for poor decisions and operating on gut instinct instead of using data. They laid off 50 people in March 2021 and it was handled poorly with no care for people and unethical practices. They fired 3 people in Marketing two weeks later after CEO said layoffs were over and there would be no additional impacts. Management behavior gets more erratic and unpredictable as the stock market continues to tank. They are a subprime lender and they are only worried about lining their pockets on the backs of their overworked employees and naïve investors.
