Pros

Vera has a wonderful culture, great group of people to work with, and is just a fun company.

Cons

Since IPO there has been an increased focus on profit margin and they have begun to cut. While still growing and profitable, we have not been meeting Wallstreet's expectations and it is frustrating to see cuts as though we were somehow not doing well financially.

Loved this job until new upper management swap! DMs micromanaging constantly & are constantly adding new ops which make it hard to focus on sales!
