Pros

The people at Cielo (formerly Pinstripe) are amazing. I had the best co-workers, some that I still keep in touch with today. The company puts on fun events such as potlucks and costume contests, so they just really know how to make things fun. The vacation time is also more than you'd typically receive at other companies. It is easy to move around in the company and gain a lot of experience. Overall, a really great place to start your career.

Cons

Compensation. This is the sole reason I left the company after being there for 3 years. The pay just doesn't make sense. Employees in the same role/job title sometimes make more money, or employees who have been with the company for less time make more money, or you get promoted but they claim its a "lateral move" so you don't actually get a pay raise. I asked for more money and was told we would "re-visit" the topic at a later date but that never happened. My request for a raise wasn't ever entertained in the slightest. I would have been happy with even $1 more per hour, just something to show that I was valued and my 3 years with the company was getting me somewhere. When I left the company I received a very significant increase in pay for doing similar work. The company also tends to take on more work/clients regardless of whether or not they have the manpower to take on the work which leads to overworked and under paid employees.

Yes, you’re right, we are going to mention that we regularly review our compensation and benefits packages to ensure that they are competitive within our industry and the markets we serve. But we’ll also share that we are glad you had a positive experience overall and are disappointed that salary alone led you to seek employment elsewhere. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
