Pros

A great company for employees on an individual level, with strong benefits and competitive pay compared to similar jobs in the area.

Cons

While the company has a strong future-focused mindset for the business, some of the back office teams struggle to keep up with the strategies, but are also hindered by slow development of support technology for internal functions.

Pros

There are opportunities to learn new skills. Plenty to learn about the business side which keeps things interesting.

Cons

You don’t accrue vacation time and the company says you can take time as needed, but you are made to feel guilty if you take a week off and I have been made to work while I was on planned time off. Working long hours is expected.
