The Uncommon Welcome Covers up the insultingly low pay
Pros
My coworkers are some of the greatest people I have ever met. The overall company culture is great, we do have unique perks and benefits but don't let those fool you, your will be paid significantly LOWER than other companies. Yes, its a fun great wonderful environment but at the end of the day, fun doesn't pay the bills, money does. I would gladly give up some of those unique perks to receive $5-7 more per hour in terms of pay rate.
Cons
The company is very much a stepping stone company aimed at new college grads and/or spouses who still want to be able to work and have the flexibility to take care of kids while their spouse is the main breadwinner. The compensation structure is super narrow about $5k salary range per position which makes it extremely hard to stand any chance of seeking an increase to be paid what you deserve based on workload and the projects you produce. In order to receive a sizable pay increase you must be promoted to the next level, there is no room to grow in your position. If you become a rockstar at your role, you cannot stay in that role and have your salary increase due to tenure/excellent performance. There is no room to grow financially as our pay bands are EXTREMELY narrow. If you are looking to make a max of $45k per year nothing more, this is the spot for you.
