Pros

The people here are the first pro. Everyone is great to work with, upper management seems to care more about quality of life for employees than daily gross profit numbers, which helps us hit our performance targets without a high amount of turnover or morale issues.

Cons

The only con I can think of after working here for a while is that depending on where in Los Angeles you are (if working at the headquarters), traffic and commutting can be quite bad. That being said, they are very open to part time work from home and have been fantastic to all their employees through quarantine.

Leaf Group Response
