Can't just start anywhere and build up in this company.

Business Outlook

Pros

WFH 4 days out of the week, some cool events to go to, and nice volunteer opportunities.

Cons

People don't get paid very much and don't get to move very far in the company so they're super resentful and toxic in their positions just getting by. This place needs a "Whistle" blown. They just lost huge points on their Power Score for treating their customers poorly and charging too much. There was a protest outside because we were going to charge more than we do.
