      Pros

      None- terrible place to work

      Cons

      Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. Seriously. Management is incompetent, turnover is insanely high. People get fired for speaking up, and no transparency. Management hires B players at best. Disastrous organizational debt. The most toxic environment I’ve ever experienced in my life.

      Pros

      Love the mission and what 500 stands for Great travel opportunities Lax expense management We're going to Phuket for our retreat this year

      Cons

      500 is a sinking ship that wastes too much money and may get taken down by its incompetent CFO and GC. Leadership is lacking and there is no opportunity for career advancement so the company cannot retain talent.
