Pros

You get to ride bike at work! Fair Hourly pay.

Cons

Your hours will get cut with no forewarning. You will have to pick up slack from coworkers. My direct manager did not give everyone a fair chance for the shift lead position. Rumor was my manager just walked right up to my coworker and gave him the promotion! Funny because although this guy became the shift lead-he needed Tuesdays and Thursdays off to go to class! I was eager to work full time and start a career with this company! Sad I was laid off with no sympathy from my manager.

Pros

- Travel the world - Own your piece of the business - Support and camaraderie as we built something completely new from scratch - Local ops teams became family - Feeling that we were the “good guys” out there - There are a lot of pros and I would not trade my Lime experience for anything, despite what you are about to read below:

Cons

- Lack of financial support, $1 billion company valuation based on the personal financing by launchers averaging $3k-$5k per city (reimbursements averaged 60-90 days) - Entire launch team that literally built the business from the beginning unceremoniously laid off with little accommodation for internal promotion or lateral movement because new “Ivy League” job description standards (any organization that so readily dismisses collective institutional memory en masse should be a red flag to anyone) - For those of us that did survive the layoffs and who found new roles at the company we soon discovered that we were quickly beholden to the Uber cabal that won the civil war at HQ we’d heard about while abroad. They brought with them a rigid devotion to all things spreadsheet, bottom line and SQL. (Ironic that those practices have yet to make either Uber or Lime profitable) - Complete lack of empathy or recognition that there are actual people that we were employing and being forced to layoff entire local teams (many during the holidays)
