Pros

The culture is amazing. I am newer to the company and everyone is friendly, outgoing and helpful. I have already made friends and feel like everyone has my back. And I really feel like I am important and contribute to the company - my opinion matters. And they encourage us to find better ways to do things which benefits everyone.

Cons

They don't have formal training programs (yet) so it's a little hard to get started but with everyone being so helpful I can always ask questions.

Pros

The people are amazing, they hire a lot based on cultural fit, so most are easy going, great to get along with, and want to hang out after work. Management are also very approachable. A lot of people are too qualified for their roles, but there are opportunities available (to those that work hard!), and the work/life balance makes this worth it. The job can be challenging, and you really do get out what you put in.

Cons

Things can take some time to get done. A few opportunities have been missed because of a higher up taking their time. We're a very busy company, but there's now more tape than a few years ago.
