Pros

100% Employer paid health insurance, pet insurance, paid holidays (for those who arent working field operations), flexibility

Cons

Has become a place where upper management no longer cares or listens. Not shocking with fast growth, but just something thats changed since the beginning. Feedback is always negative regardless of what it is, even positive seems to be spinned or ignored. Promise of growth hasnt happened let alone discussed. Micromanaging has taken over for autonomy. Often will have double standards from upper management filtering down. Compensation has not grown as the job market has heated up. Will throw money at outside talent to attract them, but discussion about pay for current employees is a non-starter. Work/Life balance doesnt exist for the lower paid employees which causes frustrations. With job market favoring the applicant/employee, its too bad upper management doesnt value current employees enough to keep them happy. When they can throw money to attract those outside the company, losing more tenured staff isnt an issue and shows the culture that has started to take shape.

Thanks for the accolades on our benefits. We just made some major investments in our overall package and added a 401k match! Sorry to hear that it’s not been a good experience for you in terms of career growth. We agree that people need to understand how they can progress within an organization. We hope that the new goal setting, performance management, and bonus/merit incentive plan we just rolled out will create opportunities for managers and employees to discuss career growth and ensure employees get financially rewarded for their hard work. Thank you for the feedback.

Pros

I was so excited to join this company and after 7 months I can honestly say I have no regrets. Leadership is building a strong team and the companies vision is solid.

Cons

All start-up's run fast; the need to adapt and roll with the punches is part of the experience. Understanding this is important when looking at related opportunities.
