Awesome office Great folks Fast pace work environment - challenging in a good way Learning a lot - great for first job out of school

I don't really have major cons but I'm worried about the impact of adding a new floor to the office, though I hope it won't impact culture

Pros

It's amazing to go to the call center and know that you are quite literally saving people's lives. I love the vision of the org and the coworkers are some of the nicest, hardest working folks I've worked with. There are opportunities to learn and try new things.

Cons

A very rewarding job at times, but can be hard also. Make sure you practice your own self care.
