Pros

Easily one of the most positive work environments I have ever experienced. If you are in any way nerdy, geeky, dorky, this is the place for you. Leadership is actually leadership here. We're all one giant team. I absolutely love my leader and am thankful for such a great experience so far here. There are good perks. PTO, insurance, company parties, ect. Insurance is a little costy compared to what you get paid.

Cons

Even if I were completely debt free, I would not be able to afford to live on my own at this pay. I currently live in a very tiny place with 2 roommates and can still barely afford rent at this pay. The pay structure really needs to be adjusted. A lot of employees have had to take on second jobs. It's amazing how many Lyft and Uber stickers you'll see in employees car windows. We have bills to pay but it's really really hard to do at less than $15 an hour. Very encouraging of going back to school but have a lot of strict rules on what applies and what doesn't. Finding out if your classes are actually approved is a task in itself. I have sent many emails to find out if I'm good for reimbursement and have yet to hear anything. I'll just keep sending in the forms. I know Sonic doesn't have to offer this but it would be nice if there was more structure around it.

Pros

Sonic is an amazing company to work for. CEO/Founder Dane Jasper and upper management exemplify Sonic's mission and values. Everyone who works here is extremely friendly and supportive. I can easily see myself growing and working here for a long time. It doesn't hurt that the company is dog friendly, which is a huge perk because Sonoma County is a dog centric area. I love getting up in the morning and going to work for a company that cares so much about its employees and the community. I am very happy to be part of team Sonic!!

Cons

I don't have any cons to share. However, a common thread is "low pay." Yes, Sonic can't offer what the big companies can. Yes, living costs are on the rise (this is a statewide issue). But, you have to remember that Sonic isn't one of the "big" guys, if the company could pay more they would! If we continue providing excellent customer service and high-speed internet the internet revolution will take place, the company will grow, and salaries will also grow. They can't pay Silicon Valley wages in Sonoma County, and they shouldn't be expected to.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, casual work environment.

Cons

Low pay, poor communication from management. Pinball and Street Fighter don't make up for compensation that is barely adequate to cover rent in Sonoma County.
