Pros

Backroads has an incredibly positive culture where people genuinely care about one another and the work we do. The executive team is approachable, kind, and highly supportive, and it's inspiring to see strong female representation throughout the Exec Team. I feel valued, trusted, and empowered to make an impact, and I TRULY feel that my work matters! The company is committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can succeed and feel welcome. I really appreciate the flexibility I have with my role and manager, which allows for a healthy work-life balance - something incredibly important with having young kids! Lastly, the travel perks are incredible! I went to Europe last year and don't know that I would have ever had this opportunity outside of working for Backroads. Overall, it's a place where employees are respected, recognized, and given opportunities to grow.

Cons

I honestly don't have much.. I really love working here!

Pros

I find that its a great workplace where folks are encouraged to speak up, take initiative, and problem solve together. I think it reflects well that there are many tenured people at the company.

Cons

There are many systems that do not always seamlessly work together so it can take extra effort to find the resources that exist & high cost of living in Bay Area can be challenging to keep up with.
