Pros
- There are some really interesting, hardworking people at this company (though they tend to leave due to low pay, lack of upward mobility, and bad management) - Pay for high-level employees is high, if you don't mind getting big paychecks and pricey perks while the employees at the bottom who help you be successful struggle to pay rent - Physical DC office is attractive and has nice outdoor space - At the associate level, you will learn a lot of entry-level skills (though perhaps at the expense of your mental health) - You have extra time off for doctor's appointments or to exercise - Free food semi-regularly
Cons
- Toxic work environment where lower-level employees are mistreated by management and low-paid. Management is aware of the pay issue but has done little to none to fix it. - Employee concerns are inadequately addressed - Frequent turnover - Associates/coordinators are treated like second-class citizens and don't see the rewards of the value they create - "Clique" behavior and being left out of social functions - Lower-level employees are under staffed and thus overworked - You are promised upward mobility but this is rare. Hard work and dedication are not rewarded with commensurate money or promotions at the lower levels
