Pros

Great fun people Good food (local, sustainable and organic) Free meal each shift Growing fast - New York and Boston next Promotes from within *sometimes*

Cons

Becoming too "corporate" Gives promises without following through Wants to be known as a great employer, but doesn't actually follow through with initiatives More worried about their brand image than their employees Forcing to create a culture instead of letting it grow organically No review system for employees Claims sustainability initiatives, but has not stepped up much from the start
