Pros

- Flexibility - Work Life Balance - Healthy and respectful collaboration with team members and management - Wonderful culture - Many opportunities to join in with your coworkers on giving back to the community/volunteering - An atmosphere where you'll find you are encouraged to bring your best and opportunity to bring with you into it your own style into your daily tasks and contributions and sharing ideas with those on your team who bring also their best every day!

Cons

While the company and teams continue to make leaps and bounds in improvements, there can be at times challenges when it comes to manual processes and can hinder efficiency. Still the objective being to do things and the correct way so these things can take time. There are several internal tools for promoting employee feedback to share such challenges that have the eye of leadership for continued improvement on process.
