Pros

FiveStars is my first start-up job, and it's a great environment where everyone moves fast, works hard, and still makes time for fun. Perks like catered lunch 3 times a week, snacks and games are provided in the office. We also have company-wide quarterly volunteer events to support the company's value of community connection and giving back to our communities. Smart and friendly co-workers make each day at the office a pleasure!

Cons

Because a lot of middle managers are fresh to management roles (the nature of a fast growing company), there are some communication break downs from time to time between managers and employees. However, there is now manager training and coaching being offered for all supervisors so this will improve in the future.

Pros

Mission driven company lead by a CEO that wants to build a platform for cultural change. Leadership genuinely cares and there is a big emphasis on developing people.

Cons

The company is in a hyper growth phase and trying to double its headcount in a short period of time leading to an expectation to deliver results very quickly.
