Pros

The company promotes from within so there are opportunities to grow and advance to greater responsibility and compensation. The office culture is mixed bag and with the present rapid growth it is a constantly changing landscape. The company mission is about making a difference and I believe there is a sincere intention.Very strong emphasis on safety which is great.

Cons

The down side of rapid growth and promoting from within is that those promoted do not always have necessary experience and maturity to lead in management. Although the "team" model is promoted ,various different roles are compensated vary differently.There a re numerous unsung heroes. It is a youth work culture with not much appreciation for the experience of older employees, borders on juvenile. Company does not really see big picture , it already beholden to wall street and big banks.

Pros

The company is amazing the product is amazing. The growth is insane! Can make a ton of money My boss is a cool guy

Cons

Culture is more on money than helping environment. The only real problem is the job is mindless regurgitation of a script and is very boring and hard. If you have the right personality and are very motivated by money, this could really be a great fit.
