Pros

- Working at Flatbook will consistently push you to grow as an individual and as a professional. - You get the opportunity to do a lot of things you aren't necessarily qualified for or have previous experience in. This means you get to learn a lot. - Management will listen to your needs. If you want more or less responsibilities, or if you're having a problem all you have to do is tell them. If they agree it's something that needs to be fixed, they will make it happen. - People's doors and ears are always open. If you have innovative ideas on new policies to implement, new processes to try or new activities to do, just voice them and people will strongly consider them. - Heavily focused on promoting a culture which pushes every single employee to be the best person they can possibly be. - The work environment is very comfortable and productive. Cool office space and great people to work with. Everyone at Flatbook is nice - no jerks. - The company is actually going somewhere...BIG. Flatbook has the opportunity to become the leading brand in an untapped hospitality industry. If you have the chance to apply or work here, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hustle and make your mark and the company will take you as far as it goes, as long as you prove you can add value.

Cons

- It's not easy. If you want to succeed, if you want to grow, and if you want to be come a better person you have to go all in. - Not for lazy people or underachievers. - It's not a job that you can just work 9 - 5 and expect something in return. No one is rewarded in either monetary compensation or greater responsibilities unless they produce greatness on a consistent basis. - The company is understaffed so expect to be forced to organize yourself to complete multiple tasks and projects on a daily basis. Essentially, most people here do the job of multiple people at once. The same goes for the founders. They hustle just as much as the front line employee's and upper management. If you're someone who thrives off recognition on a consistent basis, this place isn't for you. Everyone is really involved in their work, so sometimes you need to be self motivated. They're working on this.

Culture was great. We had a lot of fun building something that could have gone to the moon. Best employer I ever had until we closed our doors.

Cons

It's closed now. Unfortunately had to happen very abruptly,
