High expectations but rewarding work and high caliber teammates
Pros
This is not my first job at a startup, but I've grown a lot in the time I've been here and have a great team that I work with. Although it's not always easy and at times the work is a lot to handle with high expectations, it is rewarding and you learn a ton. We have high expectations and always maintain the best quality programs for all our families. There is also a lot of cross functional flexibility and you can dip your toes into other departments to see what sales, marketing, product, ops, etc. are like to work in and there's growth opportunities across departments. Empowerly has allowed many of my colleagues to explore and even move departments over time, from ops to product, counseling to sales, etc.
Cons
I understand that leadership has to make some hard decisions, like a lot of companies in this macro environment. Hard decisions cause some short term chaos, but Empowerly is in a much stronger place because of those choices. Some of the colleagues who are no longer with us today were really not a fit for our culture.
