Pros
There are a lot of pros about TCDI, but I will try to narrow it down to my top: 1. I have an infant daughter at home, and TCDI provides me the flexibility to work remotely in the event she becomes ill or is unable to go to daycare. This is so important, because I don't have any nearby family that would be able to watch her. It's nice knowing I don't need to worry about falling behind or getting reprimanded for taking care of my daughter. 2. It is a medium-sized company with a small company feel. Everyone in the office and those working remotely work close together, and it feels more like a family than just coworkers. You don't see that a lot in medium - large sized organizations. 3. Communication has improved dramatically. We currently have two office locations and a large handful of remote employees. Despite the distance, everyone is able to easily communicate with one another and maintain consistency between departments. 4. There has been tremendous room to expand my skills and grow within my department. I have had the chance to learn so much more than I ever anticipated and am very thankful for the opportunities that have been provided. 5. The senior management and C-Suite are all very approachable and happy to hear / implement ideas and suggestions you have.
Cons
Sometimes you are required to work more than the 40 hour work week. With that being said, it is important to remember that the industry plays a large factor in this. The environment is fast paced, because the industry is fast paced. We are also provided unlimited vacation days if salaried (within reason) with the expectation that the number of hours at the end of the year is comparable to that of a 40-hour average work week. So a con, but not really.
