Pros
The founders promoted a great company mission, the office space in the Marina del Rey office is beautiful. Lots of free healthy and not so healthy food, catered lunch every day.
Cons
The member services department is not treated like the rest of the company. Once they moved the department to its own office in Inglewood (practically on the airport runway) the morale steadily declined and people started quitting every single day. The management for member services has no idea what they are doing, and most of them are so closed minded to creativity and ingenuity and it's incredibly disheartening. There are a select few that are encouraging and open, but they are stifled by the egotistical department heads. You WILL work at least one day on the weekend and have almost no chance of changing your schedule once they select it for you. Employees with children in school, or attending university themselves were not granted much flexibility either. To add to that, employees who had a college education (unlike some of upper management) were not paid any more of given any opportunity for growth. They claim to offer lots of opportunity to advance but the truth is, there were dozens of talented, smart employees who deserved a chance but instead were not given any opportunity to move up or even a raise from $13.00 an hour. I was so excited to come work for what I thought was a great company, but was completely put off after I saw its true colors. For a company supposedly dedicated to fighting for equality and food justice, maybe pay your people a living wage.
