Pros

It's an easy paycheck since the work is super same-y and redundant. Everyone works remotely so you can usually do whatever and fill in the time. Pay isn't bad, but it's a dead end job. If you don't expect anything from it and have no aspirations beyond a grunt, then this place is perfect for you.

Cons

It's a start up and usually I guess it's supposed to be a good thing. But start up for this company means that things take forever to get fixed and they (management) use it as an excuse to be disorganized, clueless, and take shortcuts. There is really no path for anyone who's not an engineer or already part of the management team (the club with all the dudes who all kind of sound alike) here, that's why everyone else is hired through temp agencies. They want you to believe they care but they really don't...it's like if they keep saying the same thing over and over again it'll be true. But people who work here knows what's up. The company isn't horrible, but it really isn't a place you want to work at if you have other options, especially if you actually want a career and belong at a company that isn't a grunt mill.

Pros

Money in the bank that pays the bills.

Cons

Where to even start. A company that can't figure out what it is or what it wants to be. Meetings to talk up management and play pretend while we rot from the inside. High fives for showing up, but they don't care enough to treat employees right (e.g. PTO, fair pay, you name it). In a few, short months the company deleted women from management roles and now it's a room full of men who think they know more than you, while operations associates - who are mostly women - do the grunt work and heavy lifting. There are two realities here. One where the well-paid managers and CEO live and they talk about "crushing it" and "all that growth." Seriously, don't get me started on the self-congratulations from management for doing as little as possible. And the other reality that we live in: the daily hellscape of dealing with garbage systems and getting blamed when containers bleed cash (because of said garbage systems). No one dares to point out the fact the tools are built with the quality of a shoddy straw tent in the eye of a tornado. And they act all surprised when the house blows down. This is not a joke. Welcome to Dray Alliance. Stay away.

Pros

When team members started dropping like flies because of being overworked and not getting time-off approved the company started offering raises and putting people on salary. Recently they made an effort to restore our PTO days that did not roll over from last year since most team members did not get their time-off approved last year. Hopefully the requests will not be denied in the future on the basis of how busy the industry is because obviously it's always going to be busy and there will always be more work to do. Hopefully this is a step towards some type of work-life balance but it is scary that there was no consideration for our well-being until people started to reach a breaking point/started quitting. If we didn't push for our PTO to roll over I do not think the company would have taken this step.

Cons

Huge decrease in women in management since I started. They will not fight to keep essential members on the team and would rather let us struggle with being poorly trained and understaffed than offer a competitive pay to members that have done the work to learn the industry. Operations team members are expected to be account managers, help draft the company goals, troubleshoot the tech and catch mistakes of other teams without competitive pay or titles that match our responsibilities. We know that no one team can take credit for the company's successes, but the more we are allowed to make suggestions across teams the more attitude we receive as if we think too highly of ourselves to assume our suggestions will be applied or are a priority. They claim to offer growth opportunities but everyone that was promoted within ops in my time (1+ year) quit due to lack of competitive pay and being over-worked. They will praise us for our hard work and contributions to improving ops/the tech, then create a new position based on our complaints and suggestions and reserve it for new hires with no industry experience. How are we supposed to trust that we have a future with a company that asks us to go above and beyond expectations but shows us that they will not promote from within? Actions speak louder than months old promises, and I want this company to offer us a vision for the future rather than make us fight tooth and nail to create that vision ourselves, with no guarantee that we will even be considered to fulfill it ourselves.
