Pros

Great culture. Reviews every six months. Competitive pay (for managers and associates). Great bonus structure - based on personal and professional goals. Flexible work hours - write your own schedule. Support from upper management. Opportunities for growth. Good benefits. Accessibility to owners and corporate staff. Yearly company retreat. Truly focused on creating experiences for people - food, music,etc. Cool sweetgreen swag and gifts. Healthy, delicious food. Amazing, passionate people.

Cons

Still a new company, so some things are still a work in progress (training programs, maternity leave, 401k, etc). As the company grows and people's responsibilities change, there is some confusion with the reporting hierarchy. Currently, no vacation options for hourly employees. Promotions from within happen, but slowly.
