Pros

-Catered lunches -Unlimited snacks -Affinity clubs -Lots of team outings -Ability to work from home -Licensing in insurance if needed -"Unlimited" PTO -Transparency within the company - the CEO actually comes out and has weekly meetings with the team regarding the state of gusto. -Pay is decent for entry level as most positions are very entry level

Cons

-Many of the individuals who work here are fresh from college so they've never held a real job or really know what's going on. -Little to no room for growth, unless you know someone (which is also why you'd get a job here, very big on internal referrals) -Team leads (or "PE") disappear or are never really there when you need them. -Growing pains of new departments changing or starting new processes. -Always moving desks/ office spaces -Can be very clicky -Dress code among peers can be questionable

Pros

The free lunches are nice. The benefits being paid for are nice. Also unlimited snacks and drinks.

Cons

Do not take any jobs in the customer engagement role. Ever. 1. They pride themselves on an ownership/accountability mentality- but everyone is so quick to throw you under the bus to meet their metrics and to make themselves look better. 2. Their metrics program recommend that you leave crappy notes for the next advocate when the person calls in again and when you ask the previous advocate about it, they will get defensive and pawn their inability to put actual sentences off on you, but hey! You used your phone time to the best of your availability. 3. It is a literal mess. Expect you to pick up the pieces everywhere from every department. You are responsible for researching why people don’t actually do their jobs in other departments, ask them about it and get a snarky answer from them because they have no people skills, and you get rated negatively for the customer experience and will be told that you need de-escalation training. 4. The department has the highest turnover rate more than any company I have ever worked for and they say it’s one of the “best places to work”, which is true if you want to work with entitled early 20 somethings who know everything and have no previous experience but in partying. 5. Expect to do the work of 2 departments but only get paid the bare minimum because they think you don’t know any better. 6. You will feel like you don’t matter. The team leads will be the best things to ever walk the earth and will only help you when they want to. Their “knowledge” is useless and are completely rude and never want to help. Everyone knows this but doesn’t want to say anything.

Pros

- incredible job of hiring GREAT people, not gimmicky, they truly take the time to hire great people - standard tech perks (lunch, flexible-ish PTO depending on your job, snacks, etc) - solid location in downtown Denver

Cons

- sales organization has light years to go to have a solid organization - leadership turnover below C-level is often - compensation not competitive with other tech companies moving into area - will work you to the bone & not compensate accordingly - sales leaders have best intentions, but inadequately equipped to effectively manage teams
