Pros
I’ve worked at the big corporate establishments and although they have their own set of pros and cons…what I love most about Deck is the smaller team. Having the ability to CC the CEO on something and get an answer set in stone, same day, that’s truly an underrated pro. Since the workforce reduction, things have been extremely focused, the direction is clear and concise. I know that may sound insensitive to the wonderful people who lost their jobs, but sometimes unfavorable acts have to be done to continue building a business. Not the popular answer but none the less, factual. Jackie Breen is a powerhouse at Deck, she displays some of the most attractive leadership qualities someone can have. Having Jackie as a resource is a major pro, the amount I’ve learned from her is astronomical. A lot of businesses claim to be “flexible WFH” but Deck truly embodies that statement. I’ve worked the corporate WFH roles that claim to be “flexible” and are the exact opposite. I’ve experienced zero pressure to produce when I am OOO or have something come up. Salary is super competitive/above industry standard. I was seriously impressed when they met my salary request without batting an eye.
Cons
I can truly say any cons I was experiencing have all been addressed since Deck got leaner.
