Pros

AMAZING PEOPLE you will work with day in and day out.

Cons

The Comp Plan for all sales is based on 24months not 12 months. They essentially hide all of this from you until it's too late!

Pros

- Friendly people. - A place that actually seems to care about work-life balance and everyone's well being, I genuinely enjoyed coming into the office. - Really good benefits. - Pretty good salary.

Cons

- Not much opportunity for learning, growth, or development. - Cross departmental communication and organization is non-existent, making larger projects a nightmare and even smaller to medium projects much more difficult than need be. - Managers, sales, and marketing really like having flexibility and "pivotibility" so it was pretty common to be working on a project for weeks or months and then have a manager change the project to go in a totally different direction, and then after weeks or months of working in this "new direction" have that same manager go back to the original plan, and then a few weeks or months after that just scrap the project entirely. - Because of this desire for flexibility there was no process, documentation or planning for these projects. We would be working for months without any clear requirements, expectations, deliverables, or understanding of resources and constraints. It was pretty common to find out about some crucial bottleneck or blocker (that should have been known from the beginning) just days before something was due. - Nobody really seems to know what the overall plan/goal/direction for the company is, aside from doing better in sales. - I will note that some of the organizational things were getting better when I left, so I'd be curious to see how they're doing with it now. Should you work here? This is tricky, there are some definite pros and some definite cons here, I think it depends on what you're looking for. Where I'm at in my career, I'm looking to learn and grow as much as possible and this was definitely not the place for me to do that. But if you'd like to be at a place with really good benefits, solid pay, a (mostly) good work-life balance, and don't mind a good bit of self-inflicted chaos and the work that comes along with that, then this could be the place for you.
